Hello

I just installed a SBS 2003 server in my network which replaced an old NT 4.0 SBS. I have successfully setup all network services with the exception of Appletalk. I install File and Print services for Macintosh and it auto installs Appletalk. Looking at the properties of Appletalk reveals that there is no zone. I have tried various ways of adding the zone, installing the protocols in different orders and I am still getting a blank zone

I would assume that the zone should be configured as domainname.local. i tried connecting to this on a couple of MACs with the syntax: afp://domainname.local:domainname (like in previous nt environment) and it will not enumerate the zone

I have also tried removing the .local and no go

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help offered

Sincerely

Hugh

Hi Hugh,

Mac's don't like the .local domainname.
