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).

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

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.

following list includes examples of characters that are supported
in file names in UNIX but are not supported in Windows:
