ERDRD Worked for me with OSX 10.4 and Server 2K3. The server wouldn't authenticate me with built-in OS X Samba tools. With Dave - immediate success. This is easier than trying to get IT to change the authenication scheme on the server installation (especially if there are only 2 Macs on the network).

POOP1 Unfortunatly I can't really recommend this application. True, they support more authentication methods. This probably helps a lot of people. But they do NOT support the ability to hit hidden shares. So if you have a share that is called, say: cifs://fileserver1/groups$/engineering, you can't mount it with Tiger's SMB client, NOR can you access it with Dave. I'd gladly reach into my pockets and peel out a debit card if someone could make something to let me do that. It is the single reason I have a PC on my desk at work. That, and to change the domain password now and then.

MAC0852 You can change your Domain password using the Kerberos.app in /System/Library/CoreServices - you don't need to be bound into the domain, just enter username@my.domain and Change Password.

BINGO MACGEE Actually, DAVE can mount hidden shares, but will not be able to mount a sub-directory of that share unles it is itself a sharepoint on the server. You'd probly get more info from Thursby Support, though...

ANONYMOUS This still exists? I used to use this on a machine running OS 8.1, but since OS X it seems pretty useless.

SCOTT I have tried to use MAC's own built in settings to login windows networks and have not been able to.?? I purchased Dave and was able to login and reach file shares etc with no problem. BUT after upgrading to Tiger Dave 5.X would no longer work. I need to wait until they sent out patch etc. It turned out Thurbys would not let me upgrade to 6.x unless I bought the upgrade. No new upgrade from 5.X even though I only brought it 9 months ago no upgrades what a rip off.

ANONYMOUS Everything this software does, Mac OS X can do already. Sort of like buying a steering wheel for a car that already has one.

SIXER Sir, please do yourself a huge favor and stop using the near-unusable 10.1. I know this is a corny comment but really, 10.1 does not represent Mac OS X as a phenomenon. Either go back to OS 9 or switch to either Panther or Tiger. Furthermore, a fix to you not being able to meet system requirements, undoubtedly does not exist.

DOH... "Sixer", do yourself a big favor: note that the post you are replying to is about a year old and therefore very "stale". Not likely the person will be checking your arguably redundant reply.

ANONYMOUS SOmething's broken with 5.1. I am unable to log into my Microsoft network. Keep getting Inavlid ID or password. So just to be sure it wasn't "user error", I uninstalled it and reinstalled version 5.01 and am able to login with no problems. Guess I'll stick with it.

AXEL It is better to go directly to Thursby and do the upgrade if you have a valid annual agreement. Your old license number will not work-- you must get issued a new one from Thursby. http://www.thursby.com/purchase/upgrades.html

JOHN Somebody help!!!!! My friend was over here at my house, and he decided download this program... I knew what it was and what it did, so I therefore allowed him to procede. Well, it's causing problems for my brother (who also has a user name on this same computer), so he said for me to "Get rid of it!" Well, I cannot, and, along with the other guy that commented (hey man, you are not alone), I am having the same exact problem he is... Any of you viewers out there have any advise, PLEASE, feel free to 'lend a hand.'

ERIC If it says your system preferences are open, they're open. You've just closed the window, not the program. You have to quit. Not only that, you need to dismount any mounted volumes, and you should log out and back in before starting the install. And when you uninstall it, it will tell you all the files are not removed, but they are. Might want to give AdmitMac a look too. Much more capable, same price, from the same company. If you're in an Active Directory netowrk, it's a better choice. (I don't work for Thursby, but am a happy corporate user).

ANONYMOUS If you still cant delete it with the uninstaller. Make sure you havent deleted the installer log for it. If you have you can reinstall it in the same place to get another copy of the log. Open up terminal and delete all the files manually through that, but you may need to become 'root' to do so.
