RE: Use for an idle 270 - NT Authentication?

Keep in mind though, this is emulating NT4's domain structure, not the
newer Active Directory structure. That may not be a big deal, but it's
worth mentioning. I would point out that you can run a _very small_ PC
as your domain controller (P100 w/96Meg works fine for up to ~100 users)
so why not task an old PC you have sitting around.

If I read that correctly, it can be the PDC only, and there can be no
BDC. This is not a setup you really want. Restoring a domain is _much_
harder than promoting a BDC to PDC.

It can do it in V5R2...I dunno about earlier.

iSeries NetServer domain logon support
In an effort to remove the need for a Windows server to handle domain
logon services in an SMB domain, iSeries NetServer has been enhanced to
provide this support. Windows clients are able to logon to an iSeries
NetServer domain just as they would logon to an NT domain. Additional
advantages of iSeries NetServer providing these services include: 

iSeries as a primary location for user information and domain logon
authentication (including home directory and logon scripts) 
Storage and retrieval of Windows user profiles on iSeries, including
Desktop, Start Menu, Favorites, and so on 
Storage, retrieval, and maintenance of Windows system policies from the
iSeries 
iSeries NetServer provides specific services necessary or directly
related to logon support. Thus, iSeries NetServer will identify itself
as a PDC and function as a Domain Master Browser (DMB) if it is
configured as a Logon Server, but iSeries NetServer cannot function as a
Backup Domain Controller, nor can it dynamically replicate Logon related
information to WinNT Domain Controllers. See the following pages for
more information:
