AppleTalk and fil
e services for Macintosh
The AppleTalk n
etwork integration allows the storage server to share files and printers bet ween your
server and any A
pple M acintosh clients that are connected to your network. After installing Microsoft
Windows Servi
ces for Macintosh, the administrator can use the AppleTalk protocol to configure the
storage ser ver to act as an AppleTalk server. The AppleTalk protocol is the communications protocol used
by clients running a Macintosh operating system. The M acintosh computers need only the M acintosh OS
software to function as clients; no additional software is required.
AppleTalk net
work integration simplifies administration by maintaining just one set of user accounts
instead of se
parate user accounts, for example, one on the Macintosh server a nd another on the
computer running Windows server software.
