AppleShare: Updating From Version 1.1 to 2.0



If an AppleShare volume has been prepared using an earlier version of
AppleShare (pre-2.0), will AppleShare 2.0 be able to recognize that volume, or
will it prompt the user with the "Do you want to prepare this volume for use
with AppleShare" message? If so, and the user selects "OK", does the existing
users/groups file get replaced by a new one, or simply get updated to work with
the new version of AppleShare?

Complete information about updating an AppleShare File Server from version 1.1
to 2.0 is outlined in chapter 5 of the AppleShare File Server Administrators
Guide shipped with AppleShare 2.0.

In answer to your specific 1) Yes, the administrator will be prompted to prepare the volume(s) for use
with AppleShare.

2) No, the users/groups file will not be replaced and, therefore, will not
affect any folder access privileges.
