IBM IntelliStation/IBM PC - Primary Domain Controller/Backup Domain Controller/Stand Alone installation in LCCM

Applicable to: World-Wide

This document provides information to assist in the installation of LAN Client Control Manager on Windows NT 4.0.

Once you have installed DHCP support you will be prompted for the following information:

1. At the Choose Server Type box, select the type of server on which you are installing LAN Client Control Manager, then click on Next.

If you selected Primary Domain Controller, you will be asked to confirm the pathname of your RPL System Directory.

If you selected Backup Domain Controller, you will be asked to select a User name and Starting Number. The defaults are BDCK and 1 respectively. You can change the defaults if you want.

When you click on Next, 30 NT user accounts are created using your values. For example, if the default values are used, the NT user accounts are assigned the names LCCM1 through LCCM30. These NT user accounts are used as a temporary tracking mechanism during the scan process and any download processes. The maximum number of concurrent download operations is limited to 30. After you select the User name and Starting number, you are asked to confirm the pathname to your RPL System Directory. If you selected Stand Alone Server, you will not be prompted for any additional information. The setup program installs all required components. Upon completion, the setup program will have installed the LAN Client Control Manager program and the following services:

IBM BINL Service
IBM DHCP Service
TFTPD - Trivial File Transfer Protocol Daemon

2. If you are upgrading from LCCM version 1.0 or 1.1, do the following:

a. Copy your existing databases (LCCLIENT.DBS and LCPROF.DBS) and the LCCLIENT.INI file from the temporary backup directory you created earlier into the LAN Client Control Manager installation directory.

b. Rename the NETWORK.LST file in the LCCM installation directory to NETWORK.NEW.

c. Copy the NETWORK.LST file from the temporary backup directory into the LCCM installation directory.

Note: LCCM version 2 contains an updated NETWORK.LST file that might contain information for network adapters that are not supported in your old NETWORK.LST file. If you have a customized NETWORK.LST file, you might want to add the new line entries in the version 2 NETWORK.LST file (renamed to NETWORK.NEW) to your customized NETWORK.LST file. Make sure that all information that is required to be unique is not duplicated in another line entry.

d. Modify the following batch files you saved from version 1.0 or 1.1.

3. If you installed LCCM on a Backup Domain Controller, you must do the following:

a. From the Windows NT Desktop, click on the Start button.

b. Select Programs.

c. Select Administrative Tools.

d. Select Server Manager.

e. Select Computer.

f. Select Synchronize with Primary Domain Controller.

This ensures that the NT user accounts you created are copied to the Primary Domain Controller.
LCCM is now installed. Once LCCM is installed, a listing for LCCM is added within the program listing of the operating system.
