Windows NT 4.0 had either a 2GB or 4GB MAC volume limit (depending on the MAC client OS ver.)

Does Windows 2000 Server have a MAC volume limit?

There is no size limit on the MAC Volume, but you have to consider the version of MAC OS that your users will be running.

If you create a 10 GB Mac Vol and your clients only support 2 GB volumes you may not be able to save files.

The MAC File and Print Sharing service has all the problems as the NT 4 one, the problems are usually to do with limits on partitions on MAC OS.

I would have to say yes. This is the reason I'm searching post now. I ran into this problem on NT 4 Server. The registry edit that is known (Microsoft TechNet article # Q120739) only changes the reflection of space shown, not the actual space limit. In W2k Server, my Mac Volume (OS 9) shows an 8GB volume, but has stopped at 2GB. This is how I conclude that the same problem exists in W2k server. Editing the registry did nothing since the Mac volume was reporting the correct amount of space, just not allowing it to fill beyond the 1.97GB limit.
