NetView for NT is not the workhorse that NetView for UNIX is.
It does not have APM, a Ruleset editor, nor the smconfig tool for MLMs. Nor
does it integrate with many 3rd party apps
But it does have a GUI that most people say they like better, nvsniffer with
status checking, support for things like WEBM and Wake-on-LAN, and "attended"
MLM.
My advice to most folks who are familiar with the UNIX version is to stay with
it, and do a trial install on an NT box -- the CDs come in the same box, don't
they?

Subject: Difference between Netview on NT and Unix?
Hi.
Being about to change jobs, one thing I need to do at the new job is set
up network management.
Can anyone detail the differences, if any, of Netview on Unix (which is
all I've ever used) and Netview on NT?
Does NT support the APM? Ruleset editor? etc?
TIA
