Mounting Windows Server 2003 & NT with 10.3
Your solution only works if the Windows server is running Macintosh services (thus the ability to connect with afp), otherwise an afp connection would be refused. Most windows environments do not have that service running by defualt so by Apple enabling SMB it allows for "out of the box" connection to windows servers.

If the server is for a Mac based shop, then of course it will have Macintosh services installed.

I would have to disagree with that first statement. We are a Macintosh heavy organization and we are eliminating SFM. It doesn't scale well and at high file loads, spikes the utlization on the server. SMB access is a godsend for any enterprise class organization with Macs. Plus you can join them to an Active Directory tree for single sign-on authentication.

Yeah, who wouldn't use OS X server, but without any RAID 5 solutions that are cheap, Windows or Linux is a way better solution. A 700Gig RAID 5 server can be set up for about $1K. |
