Windows Services for UNIX

Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX (SFU) 3.5 allows Windows–based and UNIX–based computers to share data, security credentials, and scripts.
Windows Services for UNIX enables Windows and UNIX clients and servers to share network resources, integrates account management, simplifies cross-platform management, and provides a full UNIX scripting and application execution environment that runs natively on Windows.


UG Session on Microsoft Windows Services For Unix



January 6th 2005 we had a nice UG session on Windows SFU by Gaurav Daga. It is really nice and good stuff for the IT people and students...... Even though the crowd is around 35+ (Usually we have 100+), it was an interactive and useful session. Many people told me that the session was very useful ….

Gaurav also covered about the Interix SDK, Interix Tools and Utilities. Interix tools help us a lot in easy application migration and scripts from UNIX to Windows.
Windows Services for UNIX 3.5 also includes more than 300 UNIX utilities and tools that behave as they would on UNIX systems, plus a software development kit (SDK) that supports more than 1,900 UNIX APIs and migration tools, including make, rcs, yacc, lex, cc, c89, nm, strip, gbd, as well as the gcc, g++, and g77 compilers.
