Hello Jimmy. Here are steps to set up Services for Macintosh on your SBS
server and connect your Mac. Once you've finished copying the files across,
you can uninstall SFM and be none the worse for wear:

Install Services for Macintosh on server
1. Open Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel.
2. Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
3. Select Other Network File and Print Services and click Details...
4. Enable File Services for Macintosh.
5. Click OK, Next, wait for the components to install/configure, and click
Finish.

Configure File Server for Macintosh
1. Right-click on My Computer (server) and select Manage.
2. Right-click on Shared Folders and select Configure File Server for
Macintosh.
3. Change Enable Authentication to Apple Clear Text or Microsoft.
4. Click Apply then click OK.

Create shares on the server
1. Right-click on My Computer and select Manage.
2. Expand the Shared Folders icon.
3. Right-click on Shares and select New Share.
4. Click Next.
5. Enter the path to the folder on the hard drive or click Browse to select
the folder.
6. Click Next.
7. If the folder selected is already shared to your Windows clients,
uncheck the Microsoft Windows users checkbox.
8. Enable the Apple Macintosh users checkbox and enter a name for the share
in the Share name field.
9. Click Next.
10. Click Finish.
11. Click Close.
12. Right-click on the new share and select Properties.
13. Uncheck the This volume is read-only checkbox and click OK.

The ONLY hiccup here is that the user password must be 8 characters or
less. If it is longer and required to be longer due to password security
rules, you will have to download the Microsoft UAM and install it on the
Mac. Otherwise, you'll be good to go at this point.

Hope this helps.
