The interface is just like what you are used to seeing, whether you are a Macintosh user or a PC user. From the PC, users see the Macintosh files and printers in their familiar Network Neighborhood. The Macintosh looks like just another PC on your Microsoft network. After mounting a Macintosh, you can easily select a shared Macintosh file to work on or a shared PostScript printer to print to. First it allows file transfers between the two platforms and is a way to share PC Postscript printers as well as allowing a fast transfer method for large graphic files.
Network security is very important to individual users.
DAVE includes a feature called Domain Logon that allows Macintosh users to log onto a Microsoft network with a password as if they were a PC in that network plus encrypted passwords for added security. The Popup Message utility works directly with the Windows WinPopup service. It gives you the ability to receive and send messages between Macintosh and PC systems. NT administrators find this to be a useful tool to broadcast messages about server status. It can also be used for notification of print job completion.
