BackOffice Logo Server Requirements
Server software must satisfy the following four requirements toqualify for Microsoft's BackOffice Server logo:
Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) must be able to install anduninstall the software.
The software must act as a Windows NT service. (i.e., for DB2, users canhave single-seat administration from a remote workstation.)
The software must support TCP/IP and IPX/SPX for network independence.
The software must provide a unified logon. (DB2 for NT provides one logonto NT and DB2, so DB2 doesn't have to authenticate a user.)
