Macintosh Issues The following are issues that you need to be aware of when using Apple Macintosh workstations to access your 705N. Changing Account Passwords From the Windows Server The 705N does not allow Apple networking users to change their domain user account password directly from their Macintosh. User account changes can be made from the Windows server acting as the domain controller. Backing up a 705N from a Macintosh workstation You can backup a 705N with a Macintosh computer using Dantz Retrospect. The 705N, however, does not appear as a network client in the volume selection window because it cannot run the Retrospect Remote agent as a system extension. To backup the data on a 705N, you must mount the appropriate volume(s) on the desktop of the Macintosh client you are using for network backups. The volume(s) may be selected in the Retrospect volume selection dialog window. Dell PowerVault 705N Release Notes 2.4 7
