Windows Services
Windows services in Mac OS X Server provide four native services to Windows clients. These
services are
m file service—allows Windows clients to connect to the Mac OS X Server using Server
Message Block (SMB) protocol over TCP/IP
m print service—uses SMB to allow Windows clients to print to PostScript printers on the
network
m Windows Internet Naming Service ( WINS)—allows clients across multiple subnets to
perform name/address resolution
m browsing—allows clients to browse for available servers across subnets
Windows services use the Windows code page setting to display the correct language for
the client.
Samba is public-domain software that provides file and print services to Windows clients. For
more information about Samba, refer to the Samba web site:
