Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
Services for Macintosh Release Notes
INSTALLATION OF THE MACINTOSH WORKSTATION SOFTWARE AND
QUICK REFERENCE FOR MACINTOSH USERS
INSTALLING THE MACINTOSH WORKSTATION SOFTWARE
The following instructions describe how to install the Macintosh(c) workstation software that provides secure logon to a Microsoft(c) Windows(c) 2000 Server.
User Authentication
A user authentication module (UAM) is a software program that prompts users for an account name and password before they log on to a server. The Macintosh Chooser has a standard UAM built in, which uses the clear-text password or Apple's RandNum Exchange method of security.
Microsoft Authentication offers an additional level of security because the password is used as a key to encrypt a random number. If the system administrator for the computer running Windows 2000 Server has determined that encryption is an important security measure, you may be asked to use Microsoft Authentication when you log on to the server.
Minimum Requirements for MS UAM 5.0
To use the new Microsoft UAM v5.0, you must have a Macintosh client running AppleShare Client 3.8 or newer or Mac OS 8.5 or newer. If you do not meet these minimum requirements, the MS UAM Installer will install the old MS UAM v1.0 module. If you upgrade your system software, you will need to re-run the MS UAM Installer.
NOTE: Microsoft does not support AppleShare 3.7 for use with Windows 2000 Server and Services For Macintosh. If you are using version 3.7 of the AppleShare Client, Microsoft strongly recommends that you upgrade to AppleShare Client 3.8 or newer.
Microsoft Authentication 1.0
MS UAM 1.0 is not compatible with AFP over TCP/IP. If you attempt to log onto a Windows 2000 Server using MS UAM 1.0 and TCP/IP is available, the UAM will close after clicking "OK" and will not provide any error message.
For authentication over TCP/IP, you must install MS UAM 5.0. See minimum requirement for MS UAM 5.0 earlier in this document.
Installing User Authentication
Log on to the Microsoft UAM Volume on the computer running Windows 2000 Server to access the MS UAM file. Then drag this file to your AppleShare(c) Folder in your System Folder. Instructions follow. (Users outside North America, see the "International Concerns" section later in these Release Notes before proceeding.)
To gain access to the Microsoft Authentication files on the computer running Windows 2000 Server
1. On the Macintosh Apple menu, click Chooser.
2. Double-click the AppleShare icon, and then click the AppleTalk(c) zone in which the computer running Windows 2000 Server, with Services for Macintosh, resides. (Ask your system administrator if you're not sure of the zone.)
3. From the list of file servers, select the Windows 2000 Server computer, and then click OK.
4. Click the Registered User or Guest option, as appropriate, and then click OK.
5. Click the Microsoft UAM Volume, and then click OK.
6. Close the Chooser dialog box.
To install the authentication files on the Macintosh workstation
1. On the Macintosh Desktop, double-click the Microsoft UAM Volume.
2. Locate the "MS UAM Installer" file on the Microsoft UAM Volume, then double-click it.
3. Click Continue in the installer welcome screen.
The installer will report whether the installation succeeded.
If the installation has succeeded, when Macintosh users of this workstation connect to the Windows 2000 Server computer, they will be offered Microsoft Authentication.
QUICK REFERENCE FOR MACINTOSH USERS
As a Macintosh user, you can share files and folders with users of Intel-based computers by saving the files and folders to a computer running Windows 2000 Server with Services for Macintosh. You do this by mounting a Macintosh-accessible volume onto your desktop and saving the files and folders you want to share on it. (A Macintosh-accessible volume is a directory on the computer running Windows 2000 Server that has been designated as a v
