I didn't see any discussions about Macs and Sharepoint, so
incase someone is in my shoes, maybe this will help. I am not a Mac
expert nor do I use one. I encountered a situation where Macs and
Sharepoint had to work together. Here are my findings:
Check in/out files does not work. Heres how I got around it:
I installed Goliath on my Macs, and installed the WebDav component
on one of my servers. (Requires IIS) Basicly I created a network
share BUT the main difference is that Macs can "check in/out" files.
You will find that the Mac will want to download the file instead of
opening it from Sharepoint like a PC would.
This was very important in my case. Sharepoint's whistles and bells
will not work on a Mac. My Mac users can still communicate with
SharePoint users to some extent.
On another note: It seems that tons of confusion going around that
SPS2003 will support backward compatable libraries and routing
(serial and parallel). This is FALSE. If I am wrong, someone please
show me. This only works in SPS2001.
Browsers:
I have found, after trying them all out it seems, that Netscape
(NetScrape) ver 7 for the Mac works best.
can you believe IE 5.2 doesn't work on it's own product? HA! I got a
kick out of that. Well it does work, but it sucks...whats new...
Anywawy, as much as I got from these posts, I figured I'd try and
help out too.
