Question on Mac files on a Windows 2003 Server

Good Day,

I hope somebody here can shed some light on some things for me. First I
would like to give you some history on my problem

We have two Mac running OS 10.3 they are connected to our domain which is a
Windows 2003. We started out on a Windows NT4.0 went to 2K and now we are
up to Windows 2003. A Mac Volume was created on our NT4.0 server and it
seemed to move over to 2000 fine.

During Boots on the 2000 server I would get a warning saying that I may be
over the limit on files and I may have connectivity issues because of the
amount of files

These errors would come up every time I would Boot the server ( and Reboot).
The clients from what I understood never had any issues connecting.

When we upgraded to 2003 I started getting new errors which are as follows
( I have placed four examples here for you to look at)

As you can see all the errors have the same ID number and event source and I
have looked them up on the web most of the errors point to Windows NT so I
am stumped on what to do or even how to do it.



So here are my questions



What is the MacVol on Windows 2003, can somebody give me a little
information on what it does or point me somewhere where I can find info on
it?



What is the amount of files that a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server can handle
when it comes to the Mac and or MacVol



Has anybody ever seen this and if so how do I fix this problem



Is this a problem or just information that the server is giving me in 2003



Any advise would be much appreciated



Thank You

This looks like index files for the various volumes is corrupt and being
rebuilt on reboot. The index file is a mapping of the file and resource
forks present in the Mac file system but not in the NTFS file system.
Previous releases of Windows Server have rebuilt this index every time the
machine was rebooted and this can make reboots take a very long time to
complete. There are a number of things that can cause this index corruption
to be reported: 1.) Antivirus program activity. 2.) Open files on
shutdown. 3.) Disk errors 4.) Volume index size. - this list probably
isn't complete but should be the main suspects. The easiest one to address
is the open files on reboot. Just making sure the all sessions are closed
can help. Are you having any problems with the shared volumes or access?
