You'll probably find the alfresco.log in windows/system32 or wherever the "current" location is determined to be when the service starts. There should be ways of changing this. If the netbios DLLs from the bin are in the Windows path, then htey should be found - again, try adding to system32.

Another option I'm considering is to use the open source wrapper tool, as this can be set up for Win & Linux and may make some of the config easier:

Yes, both your suggestions worked. I found the alfresco.log file in windows/system32 and i am now able to use CIFS after adding netbios DLLs to system32. This setup works for us.

Thanks again!
