Description: This redbook provides information about the key components of the IBM OS/2
Warp Server product. Following on the heels of OS/2 Warp Connect, the
integrated OS/2 client operating system, OS/2 Warp Server combines the
refreshed OS/2 Warp and LAN Server with a wealth of functional enhancements
in TCP/IP, Remote Access Services (LAN Distance), systems management
(SystemView), backup and recovery and advanced print function. Each service
or function can be selectively installed, allowing users to customize OS/2
Warp Server to meet their specific needs. The redbook describes the hints
and workarounds for various installation scenarios.

The major enhancement to TCP/IP is the dynamic IP introduction. OS/2 Warp
Server is the first product which has implemented Dynamic DNS (Domain Name
System) together with DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol). The redbook
discusses the detail of these protocol and implementation on the server and
clients.

The remote access services is equivalent to the existing LAN Distance
connection server product but with several enhancements. The redbook
describes not only the enhancements but also the basics of remote access
services.

This redbook intends to provide guidance on planning, installation and
customization of the core components of OS/2 Warp Server. The components
discussed in this redbook are File and Print sharing function with OS/2 and
DOS/Windows/Windows 95 client, Adapter and Protocol Services, TCP/IP Services
and Remote Access Services. For information on SystemView in OS/2 Warp
Server, Backup and Recovery, and Advanced Print Services see the redbook,
Inside OS/2 Warp Server, Volume 2: Using SystemView, Backup/Recovery and
Advanced Print which is planned to be available in May/96.

Readers are assumed to have some knowledge of OS/2 Warp, IBM OS/2 LAN Server
4.0 and basics of TCP/IP protocol and products.
