Summary

The continuing popularity of Macintosh computers means that they are a part of many enterprise networks. Mac OS-X based computers can natively connect to Windows 2000 Server with a little work, but classic Mac OS computers need more help. Windows 2000 Server provides this help in the form of two services that allow Macintosh users to share files and printers with Windows, OS/2, and even MS-DOS users. In addition, Windows 2000 includes an implementation of the AppleTalk network protocol. With these tools, classic Macintosh OS users can be integrated into a Windows 2000 network with very little difficulty. The next chapter moves to another area of supporting services: the mail capabilities of Windows 2000.
