Deployment of Microsoft Windows NT in a Design Engineering Environment

This paper details some of the experiences and issues Intel Corporation encountered when developing and deploying a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0* based environment for usein by our chip designers. We are deploying Itel* based Windows NT workstations to engineers designing Intel's next generation products. We offer our experiences in hope that other groups using NT in a design engineering environment can benefit. Along the way we explain how we solved the problems associated with a tightly controlled design engineering workstation and environment presented us.
