What are the differences between Windows EVT and EVTX log files?

http://serverfault.com – Windows is moving to the *.EVTX format for their logging files, but we still have clients that have versions that write to the older *.EVT format. What are the differences in how those files are built, with a view to if they are parsed differently. The problem I'm having is when I try to open a *. EVT file in windows 7, I get a lot of invalid data errors, but when I turn around and open them in XP, it seems to work fine. For full disclosure, I'm seeing the same behaviour when I save the log out of the viewer, and when I try copying the files directly from the windows32 folder path. (HowTos)

Since introducing Windows 7, we have a strange problem with locked files.

We have a VB6 Program stored on a server. Clients open the program from the share, and work with it all day. When we had updates, we simply renamed the file, and copied the new one. This has been working for us for over 10 years with NT, W2K and XP. Since introducing Win 7 this does not work anymore.

I have just downloaded 11.10 from the site using the "along side windows" option. I assume that during the download a partition was created and 11.10 installed there(but then I am making an assumption).

I have several in house databases which have access 2003 front ends, either adp or ade files. I need to copy these from my server to every client machine.

In the past I have used a rollout scripts to copy the files to the all users desktop folder.

I can open most files on my Tab 2, however this one particular client of mine sends PDF's through daily - none of which open on my Tab. They're small files - 100k approx.

They open perfectly on the iPad and on my PC, just not on the Tab.

When they come through on email, I save them to the device and then go to open them, but receive a message telling me that no application can open the file.

Hi All,

The script below read the path and searches for the directories/subdirectories and for the files.

I have installed both Windows 8 RP and Ubuntu 12.04. I have a problem with file system sync between Windows 8 and Ubuntu. When I change any file or folder in my NTFS partition on Ubuntu Windows 8 do not get it. Windows complains about some file system errors. For example I have created a new folder and moved some pdf files in it under Ubuntu.

Hi.

I'm trying to get the names of files from a log file, without the path and special characters. I have a file that contains lines like this:

Code: '/path/to/files/file00010000070874.EXT' '/path/to/files/file00010000070875.EXT' '/path/to/files/file00010000070876.EXT' '/path/to/files/file00010000070877.EXT' '/path/to/files/file00010000070878.EXT' '/path/to/files/file00010000070879.EXT' '/p

I have parallels control panel on IIS windows server ,i try to move folder from one path to another , but the following error give by parallels

Error: Unable to copy /path/ to /to/path Sharing violation

Then i try to copy the folder rather than moving and i copy it successfully .

Is there an UNIX .img file viewer and extractor? I have .img files that were made on Windows and older-ish Mac OS (not OSX). A CLI or GUI program would work. I don't care, I'm just having a hard time with these files. I don't want to burn them to a floppy or anything, I just want the files out of the .img file. Any ideas?
