Using Macintosh Manager 2.0 With Mac OS X Server 10.0, 1.x, and AppleShare IP

For authentication, Macintosh Manager 2.0 can be used only with Mac OS X Server 10.0. However, any server that provides AFP over TCP/IP can be used as a workgroup volume server, including servers with AppleShare IP and Mac OS X Server 1.x. If necessary, a Macintosh Manager 2.0 client can revert to 1.4.1 by installing Update Package 1.4.1.

The Macintosh Manager 2.0 authentication server must use Mac OS X Server 10.0. However, any AppleShare File Server that supports AFP over TCP/IP can be used as a workgroup volume server for Macintosh Manager 2.0. AppleShare IP and Mac OS X Server 1.x both support AFP over IP.

Do not use Update Package 2.0 with a current Macintosh Manager 1.4.x client unless the server has been migrated to Macintosh Manager 2.0 and Mac OS X Server 10.0. If clients have already been updated to Macintosh Manager 2.0 but do not have a Mac OS X Server 10.0 to bind to, use Update Package 1.4.1 on the Macintosh Management 1.x Server. This successfully reverts the client(s) back to Macintosh Manager 1.4.1.
