Hello

I have Windows Server 2003 and a Mac OS9 client. I can login
successfully but the only volume that comes up is the Microsoft UAM
volume,
which I have copied into the AppleShare folder (with Chooser, etc
closed).

However none of the shares on Server 2003 are visible. In
particular, we have a "Personal" directory (with numerous domain-user
subfolders) and a "Lab_data" directory for
example, which are accessible by users on Windows and Mac OS X
computers
(using SMB). There seem to be no options for exposing the existing
shares on the Server 2003 computer to the Mac OS 9 clients under
Computer Management -> Shared Folders -> Shares. I know that NEW
shares can be created and have a Macintosh-enablement option. I can't
help but think I am missing something obvious. Searching "macfile" in
help suggests though that if you have have shared folders under
Shares, that those will just be naturally shared under mac file
services, which is indeed installed and running.

Strangely, our old NT4 Server allows one to create Mac volumes from
existing shares, so there's got to be a way to do it under Server 2003
I'd think. When you login to the NT4 machine from a Mac OS9 computer,
you get volumes "Personal" and "Lab_data" as ones that can be
accessed.

If anyone has any insight on this issue, it'd be appreciated.
