AppleTalk and fil
e services for Macintosh
The AppleTalk n
etwork integration allows the storage server to share files and printers between your
server and any A
pple Macintosh 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 server to act as an AppleTalk server. The AppleTalk protocol is the communications protocol used
by clients running a Macintosh operating system. The Macintosh computers need only the Macintosh OS
software to function as clients; no additional software is required.
AppleTalk net
work integration simplifies administration by maintaining just one set of user ac counts
instead of se
parate user a ccounts, for example, one on the Macintosh server and another on the
computer running Windows ser ver software.
