ntserver is being phased out and if you are installing/configuring a
new system you should not use it. There is a better alternative in
SSPI, which works functionally in a similar way but technically uses
the standard 2401 TCP port. This makes it easier to use with routing
and firewalls for example.
Please reconsider usage of ntserver.
