Services for Macintosh Overview

Services for Macintosh is a component of Windows NT (TM) Server. When you set up Services for Macintosh, you enable PC users and Macintosh® users to share files and other resources, such as printing devices, through the computer running Windows NT Server.

Specifically, Services for Macintosh gives you these benefits:

File sharing

For example, some people in your department use Microsoft® Excel for Windows (TM), while others prefer using Microsoft Excel for Macintosh. With Services for Macintosh, all these users can work on the same spreadsheet files.

Printer sharing

Macintosh users can print to non-PostScript® printing devices, and PC users can print to PostScript printing devices (and vice versa), giving them more choices for getting their work done. All users get the benefit of spooling their jobs to the computer running Windows NT Server.

Simplified administration

Administrators only have one set of user accounts to maintain: those on the computer running Windows NT Server with Services for Macintosh.

AppleTalk routing support

You can attach networks with Macintosh clients to create an AppleTalk® internet.


Creating a Macintosh-Accessible Volume

A Macintosh-accessible volume is a directory on the computer running Windows NT Server that is made available to Macintosh clients. Once a Macintosh-accessible volume has been created for Macintosh users and a share created for PC users, both types of computers can exchange files.

You can create a Macintosh-accessible volume from the MacFile menu in File Manager or in Server Manager.

To create a Macintosh-accessible volume

1.	From File Manager, select the directory to designate as a Macintosh-accessible volume.

To create a volume from Server Manager, you first select the directory from File Manager (as in the previous step), and then from Server Manager, click Volumes, Create Volume, and skip to step 3.

2.	From the MacFile menu, click Create Volume.

The Create Macintosh-Accessible Volume dialog box appears.

3.	To accept the default options, click OK. Otherwise, continue to the next step.

4.	In the Volume Name field, type a volume name that Macintosh users will see when they log on.

5.	Specify new path, password, security options, and user limits.

6.	To set directory permissions, click Permissions.

In the Macintosh View of Directory Permissions dialog box, click Help to see an explanation of the options.

7.	Click OK.


Viewing or Modifying
Macintosh-Accessible Volumes

You can view the list of all Macintosh-accessible volumes on the computer running Windows NT Server as well as modify the properties of each. The list of Macintosh-accessible volumes is available from the MacFile menu in either File Manager or Server Manager.

To view or modify Macintosh-Accessible volumes

1.	From the MacFile menu, click View/Modify Volumes.

From Server Manager, click Volumes.

2.	From the list of the current Macintosh-accessible volumes, select the Macintosh-accessible volume you want to modify.

3.	Click Properties.

The Properties of Macintosh-Acccessible Volume dialog box appears.

4.	Make the changes to the options you want.

Click Help in this dialog box to see an explanation of the options.

5.	Click OK, and then click Close.


Removing Macintosh-Accessible Volumes

Removing a Macintosh-accessible volume does not delete the corresponding directory on the computer running Windows NT Server. Removing a volume only makes it unavailable to Macintosh users. You can remove volumes from the MacFile menu in either File Manager or Server Manager.

If Macintosh users are currently connected, use the Send Message command in the MacFile menu of Server Manager to send these users a warning. Otherwise, if you remove the volume in use, the user is likely to lose data.

To remove a Macintosh-accessible volume from File Manager

1.	From the MacFile, click Remove Volumes.

2.	Select the volume, or volumes, you want to make inaccessible to Macintosh users.

3.	Click OK.

4.	When no users are signed on, click Yes from the confirmation box.

To remove a Macintosh-accessible volume from Server Manager

1. From the MacFile menu, click Volumes.

2. From the Macintosh-Accessible Volumes dialog box, click the volume you want to remove.

3. Click Remove Volume.

4. From the confirmation dialog box, click Yes to proceed with the removal.


Setting Directory Permissions

Permissions on a directory are equivalent to Macintosh-style access privileges, which specify what users can use a volume or folder. Windows NT-style permissions can also be set for specific files within a directory. Macintosh documents (files), however, inherit the permissions set on directories (folders). You cannot set permissions on a Macintosh document (file) directly.

To change the permissions for a Macintosh-Accessible volume or folder

1.	From File Manager, select the directory you've designated as a Macintosh-accessible volume or subdirectory that represents a folder in the volume.

2.	From the MacFile menu, click Permissions.

The Macintosh View of Directory Permissions appears.

3.	Make the changes to the options you want.

Click Help to see an explanation of options in this dialog box.

4.	Click OK.


Associating PC and Macintosh File Types

Extension-type associations ensure that users will see the correct icon on their computers for a file stored on the computer running Windows NT Server.

For example, Macintosh users will see a Macintosh-style icon for a Microsoft Excel file, and Windows users will see the Windows-style icon for the same Microsoft Excel file.

Services for Macintosh comes with defined associations. You can, however, create new associations, or add, edit, or delete existing file creators and types.

To make new extension-type associations

1.	From File Manager, click the MacFile menu.

2.	Click Associate.

The Associate dialog box appears.

3.	In the Files with MS-DOS Extension box, type an extension, or select one from the dropdown list.

If the extension is already associated with a file type and file creator, it will be highlighted in the Creator list.

4. In the Creator list, select a creator and type to which you want to associate this extension.

5.	Click the Associate button to associate that extension type with the file.

6.	Click Close.

1. Select a volume to remove, and then click OK.

If users are connected, you'll see a message that tells you who is using the volume. You can then use the Send Message command on the MacFile menu in Server Manager to notify these users that you intend to remove the volume.

2. When no users are connected, click Yes to confirm that you want to remove the volume.


Macintosh View of Directory Permissions
Dialog Box

This dialog box allows you to specify directory permissions, using Macintosh-style access privileges. Setting permissions from this dialog box is equivalent to using the Security menu's Permissions command. In other words, you can set permissions on directories from either the Security menu or the MacFile menu or from the Macintosh itself. Services for Macintosh does the translation. Descriptions of the options follow:

Owner

The owner of the directory (which may be designated as a Macintosh-accessible volume). This is the same owner you see when choosing Permissions from the Security menu. Click this box to see the Owner dialog box.

Primary Group

The group associated with the directory. When an owner creates a directory (or folder), the owner's primary group is set as the directory's primary group. This option only affects Macintosh users.

Everyone

Every user on the computer running Windows NT Server, including guests.

See Files

Allows the owner, primary group, or everyone to see and open files in this directory (or folder).

See Folders

Allows the owner, primary group, or everyone to see and open directories (or folders) in this directory (or folder).

Make Changes

Allows the owner, primary group, or everyone to add or delete files and directories (folders) and save changes to files in this directory (folder).

Replace permissions on subdirectories

Copies the permissions you just set to all directories (or folders) within this directory (volume) or directory (folder).

It is especially important to use this checkbox when setting "drop folder" permissions (a directory, or folder, for which a Macintosh user has only Make Changes permissions).  Each directory (either existing or subsequently added) below a drop folder must also be given drop folder permissions to ensure consistent access. Unlike Macintosh computers which use ancestor permissions, the permissions set on a directory on an SFM volume will only apply to its direct contents.

Cannot move, rename, or delete

Prevents the directory (volume) or subdirectory (folder) from being moved, renamed, or deleted by users.


MacFile Properties Dialog Box

This dialog box allows you to review and change the properties of all Macintosh-accessible volumes. (Individual volume properties can be set from the MacFile menu in File Manager when you click the View/Modify Volumes command.) Descriptions of the options follow:

Confirm Volume Removal

It's a good idea to send users a message before removing a Macintosh-accessible volume. Otherwise connected users are likely to lose data. Removing a Macintosh-accessible volume does not delete the corresponding directory on the computer running Windows NT Server. It only makes the volume unavailable to Macintosh users.

Click Yes to confirm that you want to remove the selected volume. For more information, see Removing Macintosh-Accessible Volumes.


Remove

If you click Yes to remove the selected volume, you'll be asked to confirm the removal, and a list of current users of the volume will be displayed. Removing a Macintosh-accessible volume does not delete the corresponding directory on the computer running Windows NT Server. It only makes the volume unavailable to Macintosh users.

However, it's a good idea to send users a message before removing a Macintosh-accessible volume. Otherwise connected users are likely to lose data. For more information, see Removing Macintosh-Accessible Volumes.


AppleTalk Port Configuration Dialog Box
AppleTalk Port Configuration

Capturing an AppleTalk printing device means that Macintosh users send their print jobs through the computer running Windows NT Server. Releasing a captured printing device means that the Macintosh users who print to it directly will not get the benefit of spooling on the computer running Windows NT Server. Also, print jobs sent to a released printing device are not under the control of the system administrator.

For a printing device to be seen by both PC and Macintosh clients, it must be shared and captured. (Share a printer through the Printer Properties dialog box, available from Print Manager.) Macintosh users will see the name you designate in the Share Name option in the Printer Properties dialog box.

If you share a printer but do not capture it, Macintosh users will see the printing device by both names--the AppleTalk name and the name you designated in the Printer Properties dialog box.

If you do not share a printing device and do not capture it, Macintosh users will see it by its original AppleTalk name.

You can release or recapture the printing device by clearing or selecting the one option, as appropriate, in the AppleTalk Port Configuration dialog box.


Network Range

The network range used by the AppleTalk Protocol must be from 1 through 65,279. Hexadecimal numbers are not allowed. The start network number must be less than or equal to the end network number, and there must be no overlap between network ranges used by different network adapters on your system. To seed the network, make sure you specify a valid network range.


Network Zones

The zone names used by the AppleTalk Protocol must conform to certain rules. The following characters cannot be used in the zone name:

        *, @,  :, ., "

In addition, a zone name cannot consist of all spaces. The maximum length of a zone name is 31 characters. Use intuitive zone names to aid in zone identification and troubleshooting.


AppleTalk Registry Values

The following are the registry values for the AppleTalk Protocol. Check your registry to verify that it contains valid AppleTalk information. (Acceptable range of values and data types appear in Appendix A of the Windows NT Server Services for Macintosh manual.)

ADAPTER KEY VALUES
AarpRetries
DdpCheckSums
DefaultZone
NetworkRangeLowerEnd
NetworkRangeUpperEnd
PortName
SeedingNetwork
ZoneList

PARAMETERS KEY VALUES
DefaultPort
DesiredZone
EnableRouter


Get Zone List

The zone list was not available from the network. Possible causes include the following:

An AppleTalk router is not available on the network.

The network is not in an active state.

The AppleTalk Protocol is not started on this system.


Server Name Change

To confirm the new name of the server that AppleTalk clients will see, click OK in the MacFile Attributes dialog box. (Or click Cancel to reverse the change.)

After notifying users of the server (by sending them a message), you can stop and restart the File Server for Macintosh in the following way:

From the Services icon in Control Panel, select File Server for Macintosh, then the Stop button and then the Start button.


Valid Directory

You cannot set Macintosh-style permissions on a file. (Files inherit the permissions set on the directory in which they reside.) For more information, see Setting Directory Permissions.


Invalid Partition

Only directories on an NTFS partition can be designated as Macintosh-accessible volumes. For more information, see Creating a Macintosh-Accessible Volume.


MacFile Not Installed

The File Server for Macintosh is a service that must be installed, or set up, before you can use the commands on the MacFile menu.

To install Services for Macintosh

1. From Control Panel, click the Network icon.

The Network Settings dialog box appears.

2. Choose the Add Software button.

3. From the Add Network Software dialog box, select Services for Macintosh for installation, and click Continue.

4. From the Windows NT Setup dialog box, type in the full path to the Windows NT Server distribution disks.

5. In the Network Settings dialog box, click OK.

For more information, refer to the Help buttons in these dialog boxes.


Invalid Directory Account

The Owner and/or Primary Group selected in the Macintosh View of Directory Permissions dialog box are not valid. Either the names were typed incorrectly, or they do not exist. Select an Owner or Primary Group for the list that appears when you select the buttons to the right of Owner and Primary group options.

For more information, see Setting Directory Permissions.


Delete Creator/Type
Delete Creator and Type

Deleting a Macintosh creator-type pair could result in Macintosh users being unable to open documents in the application they wish to use. Make sure Macintosh users don't need the application that corresponds to the creator-type you wish to delete.


Invalid Path

You will see this message if the full path to the directory is typed incorrectly, or if you have entered a path (including drive letter and directory path) that is not local to the server on which the directory resides. For example, make sure you've designated the drive letter for the NTFS partition on the local server, which will contain a directory that can be designated as a Macintosh-accessible volume.


File Server for Macintosh

A service that is installed on Windows NT Server when Services for Macintosh is set up. File Server for Macintosh enables Macintosh clients and PC-type clients to share files. Specifically, it handles filename translation, makes sure that the correct icon for an application displays on the clients, and handles permissions, as well as other tasks.


Guests

Users of the computer running Windows NT Server who do not have a user account or who do not provide a password are logged on as a guest, using a user account with Guest privileges. When a Macintosh user assigns permissions to everyone, those permissions are given to the groups, guests, and users.


AppleTalk Network

The network architecture and network protocols created by Apple Computer. A network that has Macintosh clients and a computer running Windows NT Server with Services for Macintosh functions as an AppleTalk network.


Spooling

A process on a server in which print jobs are stored on disk until a printing device is ready to process them. A spooler accepts each print job from each client, stores it, and then sends it to a printing device when the device is ready.


Microsoft Authentication

A logon screen that prompts Macintosh users for their user names and passwords. Microsoft Authentication protects the security of the computer running Windows NT Server by scrambling passwords so that network sniffers cannot detect them.


Creators

A four-character sequence that tells the Macintosh Finder the name of the application that created a file. The file type and file creator are used by the Macintosh Finder to determine the appropriate desktop icon for that file.


Types

A four-character sequence that identifies the type of a Macintosh file. The file type and file creator are used by the Macintosh Finder to determine the appropriate desktop icon for that file.

 Sharing Printing Devices with Macintosh Users

 Capturing and Releasing an AppleTalk Printing Device


Requirements for Using AppleTalk Printing Devices
Using AppleTalk Printing Devices

Without Services for Macintosh, Macintosh clients typically send print jobs to AppleTalk printing devices (usually PostScript devices); whereas PC-type users send print jobs to non-PostScript devices. Services for Macintosh, however, makes it possible for both types of clients to send print jobs to either type of printing device. In addition, both types of users get the benefit of spooling when they print through the computer running Windows NT Server.

To get these printing benefits, Services for Macintosh must be set up, the Print Server for Macintosh started, and a user account (such as MACUSERS) created.


Sharing a Printing Device with Macintosh Users

Macintosh users can gain access to any printing device on the computer running Windows NT Server. For more information, see Using AppleTalk Printing Devices.

To share a printer with Macintosh users

1. From the Printer menu of Print Manager, click Properties.

2. From the Print to list, click Network Printer (from the bottom of the list).

3. From the Print Destinations box, click AppleTalk Printing Devices, and click OK.

4. From the Available AppleTalk Printing Devices dialog box, double-click a zone and then a printing device.

5. Click Share This Printer on the Network.

The Share Name is shortened, if necessary, so that PC users can see it. Macintosh users see the name in the Printer Name box.

6. In the Location box, type the place that users can find their print jobs.

You might enter a printer room number, for example.

7. Click OK.


Capturing and Releasing an AppleTalk
Printing Device

If you want an AppleTalk printing device to be reserved for users of the computer running Windows NT Server, it must be captured. Capturing gives spooling capabilities to all users who connect to the corresponding printer through the computer running Windows NT Server.

Releasing a captured printing device means that AppleTalk users (for example, Macintosh users) can send print jobs to it directly. However, the device will not be under system administrator's control.

To recapture or release an AppleTalk printing device

1.	From the Printer menu of Print Manager, connect to the printing device you want to recapture or release.

Make sure you specify an AppleTalk printing device from the Connect to Printer dialog box.

2.	From the Printer menu, click Properties.

3.	From the Printer Properties dialog box, click Settings.

4. From the AppleTalk Port Configuration dialog box, clear or select, as appropriate, the Capture This AppleTalk Printing Device check box.

5. Click OK.
