[Macpartners] Macpartners] Connecting MACs to Windows 2003 Server

[Mateja Miljacki]

Gina,

What is serving AFP on the Windows 2003 server? MS Services for Mac  
is an old old beast that has not been updated since Windows 2000 at  
which point it was also outdated in the protocol version. AFP is up  
to v3.2 (served easily both AFP and SMB from Mac OS X Server), the  
Microsoft Services for Mac is on AFP v2.

There are 3rd party products that are so bad (or so cheap) that run  
on Windows and provide a decent AFP share, extremeZ IP is one of them.

Mateja.
