UNIX in a Windows Environment

Hi

I run a small Windows based environment (win2k or better)
and I am now required to purchase a UNIX workstation and
run a UNIX OS (HP, Solaris, or SGI).

I have no idea how to incorporate this UNIX workstation
into my Windows environment.

I will be running maybe 1 or 2 appliations on the UNIX
workstation. I would like to be able to access the shared
drives on our server.

Also, can UNIX workstations be leased for maybe 3 months
or so? If not, what can you recommended as a so-so UNIX
workstation?

If this is not the correct place for this post, is there a
UNIX newsgroup that deals with integrating UNIX into a
Windows environment?

Thanks
Wayne

I'm sure you can lease anything, if you are willing to pay the price. :-)

Linux has a number of tools made for your situation. Go to a Linux networking
NG, and try there.

Read up on Samba services on the unix platforms. This is the SMB (server
messaging block) implimentation that works with NetBIOS in the windows
environment.

You wont have to do anything goofy with NFS mount points on your windows
servers to be able to fascilitate connectivity from the workstation.

The other thing you can do, is look into the Microsoft Services for Unix 3.0
offering. There are lots of tools and things for integrating windows into a
unix environment, and there may be some useful information there.

Hope that helps,

That's the thing: I am not trying to integrate windows
into a UNIX environment. What I'm tying to do is integrate
UNIX into a Windows environment.

I will take a look at these two things. Thanks
