MORE INFORMATION

NOTE: The information in this article does NOT apply to Windows 2000.

Both Server Manager and User Manager maintain a list of installable extension DLLs which they load when starting up. Each extension DLL contains entry points for notification as to when Server Manager or User Manager is loading, unloading, initializing menus, and invoking commands.

The document Exten.doc defines the interface that enables server providers other than Microsoft Windows NT LAN Manager (NTLM), to integrate their administration functionality with Server Manager or User Manager on Windows NT 4.0. This document serves as a functional specification for the implementation of a Server Manger or User Manager extension DLL. It can be found on the Win32 Platform SDK CD-ROM in the following location:

\MSSDK\Help\Exten.doc

You can also find the header files Smx.h and Umx.h at this location. These files contain the function prototypes and declarations that are necessary for writing a Server Manager or User Manager extension DLL.

%mssdk%\include\smx.h

%mssdk%\include\umx.h

NOTE: Where %mssdk% is the path to your installation of the Platform SDK.
