Chapter 2 Setting Up Windows Services 25
Starting Windows Services
You can use Server Admin to start Windows services.
To start Windows services:
1 Open Server Admin and select Windows in the Computers & Services list.
2 Click Start Service.
From the Command Line
You can also start Windows services using the serveradmin command in Terminal. For
more information, see the file services chapter of the command-line administration
guide.
Configuring a Print Queue for SMB Sharing
You can configure any print queue that has been set up on the server to be shared
using SMB. You configure queues for shared printers on the server by using Server
Admin.
To create a shared print queue:
1 In Server Admin, select Print in the Computers & Services list.
2 Click Settings, then click Queues.
3 Select the print queue in the list, then click the Edit button (below the list).
If you don’t see the Queues button, you might already be looking at queue settings.
Click the Back button (the left-pointing arrow in the upper right).
4 Make sure Sharing Name is compatible with SMB sharing.
This does not change the Printer Setup Utility queue name on the server.
Names of queues shared via SMB should be 15 characters maximum and should not
contain characters other than A–Z, a–z, 0–9, and _ (underscore).
5 Select the SMB protocol.
6 Click Save, then click the Back button (in the upper right).
Make sure you start Windows services.
Supporting Windows Client Computers
Mac OS X Server supports the native Windows file sharing protocol, Server Message
Block (SMB). SMB is also known as Common Internet File System (CIFS). Mac OS X
Server comes with built-in browsing and name resolution services for your Windows
client computers. You can enable Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) on your
server, or you can register with an existing WINS server.
