Solved it. Supposedly, User Environment Variables take precedence over System Variables in WindowsNT, but this doesn't appear to be the case, in practice. Here's how to add the Z_REALM system variable: <WARNING> Modifying the registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. I can't guarantee that problems resulting from modifications to the registry can be solved. Use at your own risk. </WARNING> 1) Open REGEDT32.EXE 2) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment 3) Add the value Z_REALM:REG_SZ:MyRealmName 4) Reboot Your Realm should now be changed.

I'm setting Zope up on a new server running WindowsNT. When I change the Z_REALM environment variable, nothing happens. Zope ignores it completely. Yes, I've rebooted.
I've set up several Zopes, and never before had this problem (though, my previous experience is with Win2000).
Has anyone else encountered this? Any fixes?
Here's my Zope info:
Zope Version (Zope 2.4.3 (binary release, python 2.1, win32-x86), python 2.1.0, win32) Python Version 2.1 (#15, Apr 16 2001, 18:25:49) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] System Platform win32
