What are the qualities of good models of system and network administration? Sites around the world are asking this question as they build networks of varying size and complexity that include Microsoft Windows NT on the desktop, in the server room, or both. The Large Installation System Administration of Windows NT conference, LISA-NT, is a forum to bring system administration professionals together to discuss workable solutions to the issues of administering and scaling the NT environment.

LISA-NT '99 will bring together peers and experts in our field. We invite you to submit technical papers as well as proposals for invited talks, panel sessions, tutorials, and Work-in-Progress reports. There are also opportunities for Birds-of-a-Feather sessions and demos of products and solutions.

Please review this call for papers, make a submission, and join us in making LISA-NT '99 the premiere conference for system administrators of distributed NT environments.

We look forward to your participation. If you have questions not covered in this call for papers or in the detailed author guidelines regarding submissions, acceptable topics, etc., you may e-mail us at <lisantchairs@usenix.org>.
