The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1

Customers may want to use Windows NT Advanced Server Services for
Macintosh to share information on CD-ROM with Macintosh clients. This
is not possible with Microsoft LAN Manager Services for Macintosh.

Windows NT Advanced Server uses the Windows NT file system (NTFS) to
store a file's resource fork and permissions in the space dedicated to
the extended attributes.
 
However, the CD file system (CDFS) volumes are read-only medium;
therefore, the permissions are defaulted to Read access.
 
Windows NT Advanced Server Services for Macintosh allows Macintoshes
to utilize PC-compatible CDs in drives attached to the server. It does
NOT allow Macintosh-compatible CDs to be read or shared by the Windows
NT Advanced Server.

To create a Macintosh volume on CD-ROM, do the following:
 
1. From the File Manager, select the directory on the CD that you want
   to designate as a Macintosh-accessible volume.
 
2. From the MacFile menu, choose Create Volume.
 
3. In the Volume Name box, type a volume name that Macintosh users
   will see when they log on.
 
4. Specify a new path and password, if necessary. The security defaults
   to read-only because of the nature of CDFS.
 
5. Choose the OK button.
