Appletalk Event in Event log

[David Eaton]

I was checking my event log yesterday on my Windows 2000
Server running a Spam filtering program when I came
across this event. It seems to register on boot. This
server is a member on an NT4 domain.

Event ID: 5
Source: Appletalk
Description: A name was successfully registered for this
node via appletalk protocol on adapter Intel....

I am concerned with this since I do not have any Apple
based computers on the network. The appletalk protocol
was installed along with print services for macintosh.
I've removed both.

Does anyone have any ideas what would cause this message
to appear?

Any ideas are appreciated.

Hi David!

If you've removed the Appletalk protocol, you shouldn't see this message
anymore. The message is simply telling you that your server was setting
itself up with a unique name on the network for the Appletalk protocol
during startup.

The registration process is to prevent two servers with the same name from
using the same name on the network.

Hope this helps! bill
