4167.0. "PW Domains and DECnet" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Paul Cordwell) Mon Feb 24 1997 02:59

Hi people

A customer who is currently running approx 60 PW4 servers around the country
(Australia) wants to upgrade them to PW5 server on OpenVMS with the minimum
number of domains. The problem is that they cannot run TCP/IP over their whole
WAN, only DECnet, due to the routers they are using and licenseing costs.

In my digging around to date I have been unable to find out if PW Server 5.0E
supports this, or if PW Server 6 will support this DECnet only WAN design for
a single/ minimal LM Domain strategy.

Thanks in advance

    Paul,
    
    Wait for confimation, but my understanding is that functionality for
    domains to span a WAN will always be TCP/IP only.   It's definitely 
    TCP/IP only in v5.0E and I've heard no mention of DECnet WAN domain
    support in v6...
