# File Server

## The File Server for Microsoft Windows

On Microsoft Windows, the File Server acts as a normal Windows Service Program, which cannot be started by a command interpreter. You have to use Systemcontrol->Services to start it. Events will be written on the EventSystem of Windows.

All necessary arguments as used by the UNIX version are provided in the Registry. For creating these keys please use the supplied installation procedure of Agile e6.

| Because the File Server uses Microsoft Windows Access Lists and Security Checks, it is not possible to use vaults on FAT file systems neither on harddisks nor on floppy. Use the NTFS file system for vaults instead. Do not use a domain user for the service account of the File Server. |
