Has anyone noticed that the MS UAM for AFP is not working on Intel Macs? I have installed it on two MacTel boxes, one MacBook and one Mac Pro. It doesn't work on either. The G4 I installed it on does work.

Any ideas?

Is it possible that the Microsoft User Authentication Module is a PPC app and won't run well under Rosetta?

It would seem my answer is here:
MacWindows: Cross-platform issues with Intel Macs

It appears that since 10.4.6 Apple has bundled a MSUAM located at /Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/Authentication, but for some weird reason the original AppleShare screen still shows up. I am having my server guy set the Win2003 server to only allow connections via MSUAM, so I should have some level of confirmation if it works.

I would actually evaluate switching away from using AFP with Windows servers. "Services for Macintosh" has not seen any work in a long time, and has some real issues, especially in the performance department. It is very much showing its age. I tend to aim for SMB as the protocol, but you then do have to deal with the usual issues (naming issues, and the hidden files that get created... not to mention that you have to make the transition all at one time, you can't reasonably use both at once).

You could also use Extreme-Z IP, but that is a bit costly.

has anyone heard of a software called "IP Server"? I heard about it from a guy I met a few weeks ago. Basically it performs the same function as Extreme-Z IP (or so I'm told from the guy).
