Hi. Please bear with me as I don't know very much about Macintoshes.
We have have several servers in our organization. Most of our clients are
using Windows XP but we have three users in our creative department using
Macintosh OS X.
For many years we were running Services for Macinotsh on our "creative"
server. We just installed a new server and had to intention of eliminating
SFM and having the clients connect via SMB. When we moved the data from
the
old server to the new one, the files lost all their "resource forks" ,
etc.
and the users can't get their files to work properly connecting via SMB
So, I guess the questions are 1) Is this to be expected or did we somehow
move the data over the wrong way? And if so, how should we have gone about
it 2) Assuming the answer to #1 is that this is to be expected, is there
some utility or some way for us to convert the files so that the resource
info is "attached" to the file?
We need to get rid of SFM for a variety of reasons, mainly because we'd
using some software that's not compatible with it in our disaster recovery
infrastructure.
Thanks in advance,
Lisa
