Macintosh file administration

In Windows NT 4.0 and earlier, the Macfile program handled Macintosh file administration, including the creation of Macintosh volumes, passwords, security options, user limits, and permissions. You accessed the Macfile menu from Control Panel, File Manager, and Server Manager.

On computers that are running Services for Macintosh, Macintosh volumes and files are centrally administered through the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Shared Folders snap-in. Both Macintosh and non-Macintosh files are administered by using Shared Folders. This improves the integration of Macintosh file management with non-Macintosh files.

Note

  • You can still use the command-line version of Macfile (Macfile.exe) to administer servers, volumes, files, and folders.
