Checking Windows Services Status
You use Server Status to check the status of all Mac OS X Server devices and services.
To view Windows services status:
1 In Server Status, locate the name of the server you want to monitor in the Devices & Services
list and select Windows in the list of services under the server name.
If the services aren’t visible, click the arrow to the left of the server name.
2 Click the Overview tab to see whether the services are running and when they started, the
number of connections, and whether guest access and logging are enabled.
3 Click the Logs tab to see the Windows file service and name service logs.
Use the Show pop-up menu to choose which log to view.
4 Click the Connections tab to see a list of the users currently connected to the Windows
services.
The list includes the users’ names, IP addresses, and duration of connections. A button at the
bottom of the pane lets you disconnect a user.
5 Click the Graphs tab to see graphs of connected users or throughput.
The connected users are shown as a column chart. Use the slider to adjust the time scale.
Registering with a WINS Server
Windows Internet Naming Service ( WINS) matches server names with IP addresses. You
can use your server as the local name resolution server, or you can register with an external
WINS server.
To register your server with a WINS server:
1 In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.
2 Click Windows and choose Configure Windows Services.
3 Click the Neighborhood tab and select one of the options under WINS Registration.
If you select “Register with WINS server,” enter the IP address or DNS name of the external
WINS server you want to use.
4 Click Save.
Enabling Domain Browsing for Windows Services
If there are no Microsoft servers on your subnet or network to control domain browsing,
use these options to restrict domain browsing to a single subnet or allow browsing across
your network.
To enable domain browsing:
1 In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.
