I received many responses regarding the NT users list. Although I
was going to summarize after trying out a few, I also received many
requests for a summary. Therefore, I am submitting the raw results.
I will offer a subsequent summary once our NT admins have tried them.

Thanks to the following for responding:

Peter, there are a few of which I am aware. Firstly, there's a list
called chest-win95/NT.uk and there's another called nt-uk. They are both
fairly lackluster. The third, WINNT-L is really informative. Here is the
info for WINNT-L:

The WINNT-L list is hosted on a Windows NT(TM) machine running L-Soft
international's LISTSERV(R) software. To unsubscribe, send a SIGNOFF
WINNT-L command to LISTSERV@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM. If you have ques-
tions about the list, write to WINNT-L-REQUEST@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM.
For LISTSERV sales information, just write to SALES@LSOFT.COM.

You should try the Usenet comp.os.ms-windows.nt.* lists. There are 6:
admin, advocacy, misc, pre-release, setup, and software.

To my knowledge, they're not managed as sun-managers is, but at least you'll
find a lot of answers to NT questions.

send an e-mail to: Majordomo@Hunter.COM with a blank subject line
and this in the body:
subscribe nt-admin

i can't find one specifically for generic NT admin issues, but i do
know of these three. The second one is supposed to be pretty good.

AlphaNT: send "subscribe" to AlphaNT-request@listserv.mfg.mke.ab.com
decstation-managers: "subscribe decstation-managers" to majordomo@ornl.gov
alpha-osf-managers: "subscribe alpha-osf-managers" to majordomo@ornl.gov
(alpha-osf-managers@ornl.gov is the manager running the list)

- (N): NT Bugtraq
Listserv@rc.on.ca with "SUB NTBUGTRAQ Your Name".
- (N) NT Security
request-ntsecurity.iss.net and in the text put "subscribe ntsecurity".

I am on a list that deals with unix/NT integration. There is VERY little
traffic on it. I believe that I got 3 messages in the last 2 mounths...
Any way, here is the sponsoring web site: http://www.switchback.com/.
The list can be accessed at http://www.switchback.net/unixnt/index.html.
Take a look to see if it's what you need be for you join.

You probably ought to ask some NT admins that question, not some Sun admins,
unless you're looking for a list for "sun managers who have to worry about
NT too", like most of us these days. :-)

The only NT list I'm on is the multiuser NT list at NCD, i.e.
multiuser-nt(-request)@ncd.com

I found some at iss.net but volume was huge & content low
If you find any other sources, please summarise or let me know.
I've found great value from the sun-managers list.
I'm now involved in adding an nt network, so I'm collecting resources
