DNS
Just as in Windows NT 3.x, Windows NT also supports the Internet standard Domain Name Service as a means by which to connect to names in standard English such as (itmaven.com) or the numeric equivalent 32-bit IP addresses for example (255.128.55.25). Windows NT Server, however, adds a new DNS Server service to its offering. In order to install it, click Start and then the Control Panel called Network, then choose the Services tab, and add the Microsoft DNS Server. Microsoft DNS has the ability to handle both static (UNIX-style) and Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) compatible dynamic naming. They are controlled through a new DNS Manager application in the Start Menu's Administrative Tools folder.
Workgroup
Windows NT Server and Workstation incorporate a free workgroup version of Microsoft Mail that can be used together with the Windows Messaging e-mail client. If you wish to establish a new Microsoft Mail Postoffice, start the Control Panel called Microsoft Mail Postoffice, then choose to create a new Workgroup Postoffice and select Next. Type in the path to a disk or directory for storing messages and user files for the Postoffice, and then click on Next. You must then confirm the directory, enter administrative account data in the resulting dialog, and then select OK. The Mail application will tell you that it has created the workgroup Postoffice. In addition, it will also tell you that the Postoffice directory must be shared on the network so that other users can find it.
