Appendix C: Windows Clients

This appendix describes logging and tracing information that is specific to Windows clients.

Log files are backed up and reset in the same way as they are for Solaris computers, except that the default maximum size for a Windows log file is 10,000 bytes (not 1,000,000 bytes as for Solaris).
