Alerter Service Entries
Entries for this service appear under the following subkey:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Alerter\Parameters

AlertNames REG_MULTI_SZ List   Specifies the list of users to whom administrator alerts are sent. This value can be set using the Server Manager. Default: NULL

AppleTalk and MacFile Service Entries for SFM
Services For Macintosh (SFM) does not appear in the Registry until you install SFM using the Network icon in Control Panel. After installation, the SFM value entries appear under several Services subkeys: AppleTalk, MacFile, MacPrint, and MacSrv. You should let the system maintain entries in the MacPrint or MacSrv service. However, the AppleTalk and MacFile services contain definable parameters described in this section.

You should use the Network icon in Control Panel to configure SFM, and use File Manager to administer file services, Server Manager to administer server services, and Print Manager to administer print services for SFM.

SFM is included with Windows NT Advanced Server and on the Windows NT Resource Guide disk.

AppleTalk Entries for SFM
The values for the AppleTalk service are found in the following Registry path:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AppleTalk

For changes to take effect, you must restart the File Server for Macintosh using the Devices icon in Control Panel.

Values for the AppleTalk Parameters and Adapters subkeys are described here. The settings in the Linkage subkey and the TCP/IP settings in the Winsock subkey for AppleTalk are maintained by the system and should not be changed by the user.

The following are the defaults for the basic service entries:

  DependOnGroup=NDIS DependOnService=Lance DisplayName=AppleTalk Transport ErrorControl=0x1 ImagePath=\SystemRoot\system32\drivers\sfmatalk.sys Start=0x2 Type=0x1

AppleTalk Parameter Entries
This is the Registry path for the AppleTalk parameters:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AppleTalk \Parameters

  NOTE: The above registry key is one path; it has been wrapped for readability.

These values set port, zone, and router information.

DefaultPort EG_SZ Adapter name   Specifies the network on which the SFM service names are registered. If the AppleTalk protocol is not routing, only Macintosh workstations connected to this network can see the file and print services. During initial installation, the default port is set automatically to the first Ethernet adapter found, or to the first Token Ring adapter, or to a LocalTalk adapter (in that  order). Default: the first adapter found.

DesiredZone REG_SZ Zone name <pre class="fixed_text">  Specifies the zone in which the SFM service is present. If this value is not set, SFM is present in the default zone for that network. There is no default.

EnableRouter REG_DWORD 0 or 1 <pre class="fixed_text">  Tells the AppleTalk protocol whether routing needs to be started on   this computer. If routing is started, Macintosh workstations connected to any of the networks that this computer is on should be  able to use the file and print servers for Macintosh.

<pre class="fixed_text">  IMPORTANT: This value is critical. Unless absolutely essential, do  not set this value to 1.

<pre class="fixed_text">  Default: 0

Adapter Card Entries for AppleTalk
The entries for AppleTalk that are specific to network adapter cards are found under the following Registry path:

<pre class="fixed_text">  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AppleTalk\Adapters \adapter_name

<pre class="fixed_text">  NOTE: The above registry key is one path; it has been wrapped for readability.

There is one subkey for each adapter that is AppleTalk-compatible on the computer. These entries are found in each Adapter_Name subkey.

AarpRetries REG_DWORD Number <pre class="fixed_text">  Specifies the maximum number of AppleTalk address-resolution protocol packets to be sent by the AppleTalk protocol. Default: 0xa

DdpCheckSums REG_DWORD 0 or 1 <pre class="fixed_text">  Tells the AppleTalk protocol whether to compute checksums in the DDP layer. If this entry is 1, the AppleTalk protocol uses sums in  the DDP layer. Default: 0

DefaultZone REG_SZ Zone name <pre class="fixed_text">  Contains the default zone for this network if this adapter is   seeding the network. If the adapter is seeding the network, the default zone is chosen when you configure SFM using the Network icon in Control Panel. There is no default.

NetworkRangeLowerEnd REG_DWORD 1 to 65279 <pre class="fixed_text">  Specifies the lower network number of the network range if this adapter is seeding the network. If the adapter is seeding the network, this number is set by using the Network icon in Control Panel to configure SFM. There is no default.

NetworkRangeUpperEnd REG_DWORD 1 to 65279 <pre class="fixed_text">  Specifies the upper network number of the network range for this network if this adapter is seeding the network. If the adapter is  seeding the network, this number is set by using the Network icon in Control Panel to configure SFM. There is no default.

PortName REG_SZ AdapterName@ComputerName <pre class="fixed_text">  Specifies the name used to identify the AppleTalk protocol running on a particular adapter on a computer. There is no default.

SeedingNetwork REG_DWORD 0 or 1 <pre class="fixed_text">  Used by the AppleTalk protocol during startup. If this value is 0, this adapter is not seeding the network and the AppleTalk protocol ignores any seeding information for the adapter, if specified. If  this value is 1, the AppleTalk protocol reads all seeding information and seeds the network, if valid. Default: 0.

ZoneList REG_MULTI_SZ List of zones <pre class="fixed_text">  This value is relevant only when the adapter is seeding the network. The network is seeded with this list of zones by the AppleTalk protocol. Changes can be made by using the Network icon in Control Panel to configure SFM. There is no default.

AppleTalk Winsock Entries
The TCP/IP settings in the Winsock subkey for AppleTalk are defined by the system and should not be changed by the user. The following shows the defaults:

<pre class="fixed_text">  HelperDllName=C     \winnt\system32\sfmwshat.dll Mapping= MaxSockAddrLength=0x8 MinSockAddrLength=0x6

MacFile Entries for SFM
The MacFile subkey contains the main entries for the AppleTalk File Protocol (AFP) server. All configuration information for the file server is in the following subkey:

<pre class="fixed_text">  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MacFile

For changes to take effect, you must restart the computer. The MacFile\Parameters subkey includes Type_Creators, Icons, and Extensions subkeys. You should let the system maintain entries in the Icons or Extensions subkeys. This section describes value entries for the Parameters and Parameters\Type_Creator subkeys.

The basic entries for the MacFile services are the following:

<pre class="fixed_text">  DependOnGroup= DependOnService=AppleTalk LanManWorkStation  NetLogon DisplayName=File Server for Macintosh ErrorControl=0x1 ImagePath=%SystemRoot%\system32\sfmsvc.exe ObjectName=LocalSystem Start=0x2 Type=0x20

MacFile Parameters Entries
The Registry path for MacFile parameters is the following:

<pre class="fixed_text">  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MacFile\Parameters

The following value entries specify server options, which can be set from the Server Manager. All other entries are added to the Registry when changes to the default values occur.

For information about the Macintosh codepage, see the entry for MacCP in the NLS\CodePage subkey.

LoginMsg REG_SZ 1-198 characters <pre class="fixed_text">  Specifies the message you want Macintosh users to see when they log on to the Windows NT Advanced Server network. There is no default.

MaxSessions REG_DWORD 1 to unlimited (0xffffffff) <pre class="fixed_text">  Specifies the maximum number of user sessions that the file server for Macintosh can accommodate. Default: 0xff (255 in decimal)

PagedMemLimit REG_DWORD 1000K to 256000K <pre class="fixed_text">  Specifies the maximum amount of page memory that the file server for Macintosh uses. Performance of the MacFile service increases with an increase in this value. However, the value should not be  set lower than 1000 KB. It is especially important that you are well acquainted with memory issues before changing this resource parameter. You cannot change this value from Server Manager. Default: 0x4e20 (20000 in decimal). PagedMemLimit is not a valid entry for Windows NT Server version 4.0 and Windows NT 4.0 ignores this setting if it sees it.

NonPagedMemLimit REG_DWORD 256K to 16000KB <pre class="fixed_text">  Specifies the maximum amount of RAM that is available to the file server for Macintosh. Increasing this value helps performance of  the file server, but decreases performance of other system resources. Default: 0xfa0 (4000 in decimal)

ServerName REG_SZ Server name <pre class="fixed_text">  Specifies the name of the server running SFM on a Windows NT   Advanced Server network. Use the server's Windows NT Advanced Server name as the default if you need to add this entry. There is  no default.

ServerOptions REG_DWORD <pre class="fixed_text">  Specifies server options that are set in Server Manager. If needed for repair purposes, change bits 1 through 3; do not change any of  the other bits. When on, bit 1 allows guest logons, bit 2 allows cleartext passwords, and bit 3 allows Macintosh users to save passwords on their workstations. The defaults are bit 1, 2, and 3 set to on.

Volume REG_MULTI_SZ MaxUses Properties Password Path <pre class="fixed_text">  Each entry specifies information about a Macintosh-accessible volume on the server on a Windows NT Advanced Server network. You should add Macintosh-accessible volumes using File Manager.

<pre class="fixed_text">  Value          Meaning --  MaxUses        Specifies the maximum number of simultaneous workstations that can be connected to the file server. The upper limit is unlimited. The practical limits are based on the server hardware and network media. <pre class="fixed_text">  Properties     Specifies security options. When bit 16 (the leftmost bit                 in binary notation) is set to On, only guests can use this volume. This is the default (1000000000000000 in                 binary notation). When bit 1 (the right-most bit in                 binary notation) is set to On, the volume is read-only. For both the volume to be read-only and guests to use this volume, the binary value would be 1000000000000001. <pre class="fixed_text">  Password       Contains the encrypted password. Do not change this value. If a user forgets a password, you can delete this entry, thus removing a password requirement from the user's account. Then the user can specify a new password at logon. <pre class="fixed_text">  Path           Specifies the path of the volume's root directory. If a volume has been deleted, the path may still be valid; consequently, you should not delete this value. If volumes are deleted using File Manager, you can delete this value.

Type_Creators Entries for MacFile
The values in the following Registry subkey list all the Macintosh type-creators that are associated with MS-DOS-style filename extensions:

<pre class="fixed_text">  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services \MacFile\Parameters\Type_Creators

<pre class="fixed_text">  NOTE: The above registry key is one path; it has been wrapped for readability.

Change these values from the File Manager by choosing the Associate command from the MacFile menu. The value entries that appear in the Registry for each type of creator have the following format:

<pre class="fixed_text">  ##     REG_MULTI_SZ     Creator=Value Type=Value Comment=Value

The three values appear for each entry and have these restrictions:
