It's been awhile, but I seem to have the feeling that you have to create a
Mac volume with the NT server. I don't remember any of the details, but I
do remember working with such a setup before.
Then again, I may have been using one of those Shareware or PD Mac
utilities like Drop-n-Rename. I can't remember the name of it, but there
was a Drop-n-SomethingOrAnother that set the type/creator by file
extension. I remember that it was extremely easy to set up, you could save
a separate icon with your settings, and you could drop an entire folder on
the icon.
I remember thinking that it was very fast even on those old Bernoulli
drives when creating 100s or 1000s of image file resource forks. Probably
close to instantaneous on today's machines & fast networks.
