[QUOTE="technologist, post: 751741, member: 4134"] Yeah. Don't run a Windows server to store Mac files. ;) Windows (even Server 2003) only supports an obsolete version of AFP, which doesn't support long filenames. And SMB doesn't expose the resource forks of Mac files. There is a third-party AFP server ([url=http://www.grouplogic.com/products/extremez-ip/]ExtremeZ-IP | Products | Group Logic[/url]) you can buy to add modern AFP support to your Windows server. The SFM (AFP) and SMB Comparisons on that site address your issues. Or you could almost buy an actual Apple server for what they're charging, which might not be a bad idea if you're still running Win2K. [/QUOTE]
