Summary

The continuing popularity of Macintosh computers means they are a part of many enterprise networks. Mac OS X–based computers can natively connect to Windows Server 2003 with a little work, but classic Mac OS computers need more help. Windows Server 2003 provides this help in the form of two services that allow Macintosh users to share files and printers with Windows users. In addition, Windows includes an implementation of the AppleTalk network protocol. With these tools, classic Macintosh OS users can be integrated into a Windows network with little difficulty. The next chapter moves to another area of supporting services: the mail capabilities of Windows Server 2003.
