Mac file sharing problem

Hi Guys,

we used to have 2 2000 DC's that shared files, and the macs were always able to access these shares. We then upgraded these to 2003 R2 Servers, and now the Mac's can't even see what shared folders we have on them!!!!

however, we do have another 2003 Standard server on the network, and the macs can access these fine!

anyone have any ideas?

oops wasn't finished:

After creating the Mac file share, you can access the shared folder on the Mac client. Simply open Chooser, click AppleShare, then select the shared folder from the Windows 2003 file server. You're now ready to transfer the files from the Mac client to the file server.

is there a way of settin up the servers, so that all shares created are automatically accessable by Mac's?

and if so, is it possible to apply them to shares that already been created, kind of like a "bulk" assignment?
Here is a good example of how to do it, though its not easy....Look at the heading Login/logout scripts, make sure to read all of the red highlighted links, they provide further information.
