Configuring the Name Service

  • Artikel

Starting with Windows 2000, when you install the Windows SDK, the setup program automatically selects Microsoft Locator as the name service provider. You can change the name service provider through Control Panel.

The host computer that runs the nsid acts as a gateway to the DCE Cell Directory Service, passing NSI function calls between computers that run Microsoft operating systems and DCE computers. A network address can be up to 80 characters—for example, 11.1.9.169 is a valid address.

Note

You must have the Digital Equipment Corporation DCE CDS product to configure the DCE CDS as your name service provider. See the documentation provided by Digital Equipment Corporation for information about DCE CDS.
