We are presently in a stage to expand our PCSA LAN with a large number of PC's. Our present users however have strong requirements for a much higher performance. We use PCSA presently configured to the best possible. A second important requirement is easy tools for Local LAN (group) managers with no experience with VMS. PCSA mainly depends on central management and support (particular for managing fairly complex access control on shared directories in multiple user groups and applications) LANManager 2.0 according to our information promises both, performance and easier LANManagement tools. Any opinion, experience on LANManager implemention which helps us to make up our plans will be greatly appriciated I certainly will gather information and summarize and report this back on this news. - Testresults, experience, implementation of LANManager 2.0 - Considerations, constraints for large multiserver LAN (500 users or more) - integration in a DEC-PCSA environment, aspects such as sharing VMS based printers, central back-up/restore sharing VMS and UNIX (Ultrix) files, Email (All-in-One for DOS) etc. - LAN Management aspects. Many thanks in advance for your responces.
