Troubleshooting MS Event Viewer snap-in VNX CIFS servers support the MS Event Viewer snap-in for viewing logs on a VNX CIFS server. Using Windows Administrative Tools on VNX provides steps to connect the MMC to a CIFS server. When you connect an Event Viewer to a CIFS server from a Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, and experience problems with the Event Viewer help, perform the following: Procedure 1. Download and install the old executable for .hlp files from the Microsoft support website Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe) is no longer included with Windows. 2. Retrieve the C:\Windows\Help\els.hlp file from a Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP machine and install it on the Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 machine. 124 EMC VNX Series VNX1, VNX2 Configuring and Managing CIFS on VNX
