The Windows NT operating system is full of issues. The fact they do not have specific server file is one of them. Any file can be converted to a server file.
The System log is the Windows Server 2008 primary operational log.
The default size of the ntds log files is dependent on the server version. In Windows 2000, the default size is 10 MB, while in Windows 2003 the default size is 12 MB.
Traffic Server generates log files.
The Mac can connect to the windows file share, but it can lose meta data once it is on the Windows Server. To connect to a Windows server from your mac, go to the "Connect to Server" Menu option in the Go menu in the Finder. Type in smb://server.url or IP address (so either smb://example.server.com or smb://192.168.10.10 or whatever your servers name/IP address is). The Mac will then ask you for a UN and password, you much log in with a user who has the ability to log in to the server and browse files from a Windows machine. If this is something that you have to do all the time, you might want to consider something like DAVE that will help store the files on the windows server without losing any metadata on the Mac files.

Many companies are switching to a different platform because of the many issues they have with Windows. UNIX is one of the most popular choices, but often requires that employees be trained. This system is difficult for some to learn. One of the most common solutions is to purchase training for the employees, but this may be very costly. Having two platforms is another choice; if central files must be extracted and sent to another machine, this system may be beneficial to the company and employees. Employees may receive the files they need for their Windows-based machines by transferring the files from the UNIX-based server to a central Windows-based server. This article will explain how to move files from a UNIX server to a Windows server. The transfer process is simple, but may take some time. It is important to be sure not to delete any files until they transfer. First, the client for network file system, or client for nfs, should be installed, which will permit the Windows computers to access files on the UNIX machine. Activate the UNIX server and log onto it using root permissions. After logging in, initiate the command man exportfs. To do this, type Exportfs-v full_folder_path. Entering this command will make it possible to transfer files from the UNIX server to the Windows computers. Start the Windows server and log on. After successful login, access the start menu. Select Windows Explorer and open it. When it has opened, there will be an option to access Entire Network, then NFS Network and LAN, which is the default. From this point, the UNIX server should be selected for file extraction. To do this, open the server and find the files to be moved to the Windows server and select them. Copy the UNIX folders and select an existing folder in the Windows server to use as a destination. If creating a new file, label it clearly and sensibly. It will be useful in finding the file, should difficulties arise. Paste the copied information into the Windows folder. This process may require several minutes, depending on the size of the files, the amount and the computer speeds.
