   to initialize the AppleTalk Filing Protocol driver (SfmSrv.sys) with
   server parameters."

   completed.

RESOLUTION

  1. Start the Windows NT Registry Editor, Regedt32.exe, on the Microsoft
Exchange Server and locate the following key:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Codepage

  • From the Edit menu, click Add Value. 3. Enter a value name of 10000, set the data type to REG_SZ, click OK, set
       String to c_10000.nls, and click OK.
    
    4. Exit the Registry Editor. 5. Verify that the C_10000.nls file is located in the <Windows NT install
       folder>\system32 directory.
    
    

    MORE INFORMATION

    The Macintosh codepage (10000) is normally loaded during the installation of Windows NT.
