On my Nt 4.0 server Iam running Wins and Dhcp, and have noticed that those two apps take alot of space with J50, Res1, and Res2 logs. Is there a procedure to cleanup/compress the files in these folders?
 
resx.log is reserved for emergency cases e.g. when the server is out of diskspace.
j50x.logis transaction log files used to store data before it is put in the database. When a log file is full, a new log file is created with a new number. When the DHCP database has been backup successfully, the log files are removed.
I don't know how to compack the logs. But you can use the jetpack.exe to compact a WINS and DHCP database. Microsoft recommends that you compact the WINS database whenever it approaches 30 MB.
