ACE Inheritance in
Windows Services for UNIX
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 321049 - If you are an administrator
who manages file servers for an organization, your day-to-day
tasks may include cleanup and maintenance, setting and monitoring
quotas, file system backup, and other similar tasks. Many of these
tasks are automated. To complete these tasks, you may want to
have complete control over the data and files on a disk. This
article describes how to set ACEs for inheritance at the top level
and to configure these ACEs to be honored throughout the folder
hierarchy for shares that are exported over a network file system
(NFS) (or a CIFS and an NFS). Analysts
say transition from Windows to Linux isn't easy
Industry analysts warn that moving from Windows to Linux can
be challenging, so look before you leap. Source: TechTarget.com

HOW TO: Configure
Server for NIS for a UNIX to Windows Migration
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 324541 - Server for NIS integrates
the Network Information System (NIS) master role into Active
Directory. As a result, you can migrate an existing NIS domain
to Active Directory or create a fresh new NIS domain. If you
do so, you can use either Microsoft Management Console (MMC)
or the Nisadmin.exe and Nismap.exe command-line utilities to
administer the NIS domain
HOW TO: Install
Client for NFS on Windows for a UNIX to Windows Migration
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 324055 - You may find
it easier to migrate files from an existing UNIX server to a
Windows-based server if you use NFS instead of File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) to move the files. Additionally, if you use Client
for NFS, ongoing access to the UNIX host is available. This
functionality makes it easier to stage the migration over time.
HOW TO: Configure
Default Permissions in Gateway for NFS for a UNIX to Windows
Migration Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 324540 -
The default permissions for all Gateway for NFS shared file
systems determine the initial permissions mask for files that
are created on NFS resources that are shared to Windows clients
by using the Gateway for NFS component. You can set the default
permission globally by using either the Services for Unix Administration
Microsoft Management Console (MMC) or by using the NFSAdmin
utility from the command line. These permissions configure the
starting umask for any NFS resources that are created through
Gateway for NFS; however, the NFS permissions can be changed
later by users who have the appropriate level of authority on
the UNIX computer.
HOW TO: Configure
File Name Character Translation in Server for NFS to Support
a UNIX to Windows Migration
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 324218 - Both UNIX and Windows
include a set of valid file name characters; however, these
sets are different for each program. If you do not turn on and
configure character translation, Server for NFS cannot create
some valid UNIX file names and you may receive an error message
if you try to create a file. The following list includes examples
of characters that are supported in file names in UNIX but are
not supported in Windows:
