Windows NT Resource Kit Services for Macintosh Utilities (106545)
The information in this article applies to:
- MSPRESS Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit 3.1
This article was previously published under Q106545 SUMMARY
The Services for Macintosh utilities in the Windows NT Resource Kit
allow administrators to remotely administer their Windows NT Advanced
Server from their Windows NT workstations. If you already have Windows
NT Advanced Server on your local machine, it doesn't give you any new
functionality.
The utilities also allow developers to write to the Microsoft
AppleTalk stack with Windows Sockets and have the protocol stack to
test on their Windows NT workstations without having Windows NT
Advanced Server.
MORE INFORMATION
The administrator tool setup adds MacFile entries for your local
Server Manager and File Manager menus. The Windows NT Resource Kit
DOES NOT support MacFile; that is, it does not install the MacFile
server on your local machine. This is contrary to the misleading
statement on page 437 in volume 1 of the Resource Kit.
The AppleTalk stack is also provided in the Windows NT Resource Kit to
allow developers who do not purchase Windows NT Advanced Server to
develop applications using Windows Sockets for AppleTalk. Essentially,
the AppleTalk component in the Resource Kit is targeted at Windows NT
installations only; Windows NT Advanced Server includes all the
necessary tools to build Windows Sockets applications for AppleTalk.
