If you think as "Windows NT4 Workstation" being the "Big Brother" of Windows95/98, then you need to think of "Windows NT Server" as the "Very Big Brother" (because it contain a lot more components than NT4 workstation) !

I am now also having a look at Windows NT4 Server: the server software is loaded and running, I am now starting to play with it to gain experience and will add pages to my website, once I feel comfortable with a topic.

Do you manage your own Mail-Server ? Is your Mail-Server protected against virus-attacks ? Try the new Freeware version of GFI MailSecurity : The freeware version basically allows administrators to scan all their mail for viruses at no cost! If they want other security features and multiple virus engines, then that would require purchasing a license. Even if they already have antivirus installed, another anti virus engine on their email server will just double up their security at no cost. The full release about the freeware version is available at : http://www.gfi.com/news/en/msec8freeware.htm.
