Macintosh Client Error Attempting to Log On to Windows NT

• Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
• Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51, 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to log on to Windows NT server from a Macintosh client computer, the following error message appears:

This file server does not use a recognizable log on sequence.

CAUSE

This problem occurs under the following conditions:

• "Require Microsoft Authentication" is enabled and "Allow Guests to Logon" is disabled for MacFile Attributes in the Control Panel MacFile Properties dialog box.
  
  -and-



• The Macintosh does not have the Microsoft user authentication module (UAM) installed, or the UAM is corrupted.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem:

1. On the Windows NT server, run Control Panel, choose MacFile Properties, and select "Allow Guests to Logon." From the Macintosh client computer, connect to the Microsoft UAM Volume on the Windows NT server using the guest account.



2. Copy the entire AppleShare folder into your system folder. If the folder already exists, copy the Microsoft UAM. For more information, read Chapter 4 "Setting Up Services for Macintosh Client Software" in the Windows NT Services for Macintosh Guide.



3. You can now disable "Allow Guests to Logon" if you want.
