I have a small domain of two Windows NT computers. One is really weak workstation without enough storage, so I wanna be able to run some applications from the server where they are installed. When I try to run something I get error messages of not found
dll's (of cause, there is not sach a dll on the workstation) and so on. Please, help me to configure
my applications to be able to run from the server. Thanks

Actually because of the way apps write themselves into the registry and add Dlls to the system32 directory you will always have this problem...You can try however doing master or admin setups of apps and run workstation installs from there, takes up lot less space!! For example setting up an admin copy of Office is done by setup /a....then when you run setup from the other machice you will be given the choice of doing a workstation istallation and will reduce the space used to a tenth.
The easy choice of course is buy another hard drive and install all apps onto that
Or you may want to look at NT terminal server which is exactly like the old mainframe / terminal setup, where you need no power for workstations and a very grunty server.
Best of luck

the one way i learned how to do it is to first map the server's hard drive. then install the software from your weak workstation - actually sitting at the workstation. but when it asks where you want the program installed, tell it you want it installed on the mapped hard drive. this way all the dll's will be on the workstation and all the "big HD stuff" will be on the server.
