With stopped cifs server it works.

Warning: There are one or more shares associated with this CIFS server
Do you really want to delete this CIFS server and all its shares? {y|n}: y

Warning: Unable to delete the Active Directory computer account for this CIFS server.
Do you want to continue with CIFS server deletion anyway? {y|n}: y

Thx

Hi,

Are you able to stop cifs using "vserver cifs stop" command?

Thanks

mkappe

yes, it is down.

vserver cifs show -vserver farmw01

                                          Vserver: farmw01
                         CIFS Server NetBIOS Name: FARMW01C
                    NetBIOS Domain/Workgroup Name: xxxxxxxx

Not working in 8.2.3. Still asking for AD credentials, CIFS server is stopped.

Error: command failed: Cannot delete Vserver. Failed to remove CIFS server. Reason: The Vserver is associated with Active Directory configured CIFS server "CIFS_Z8" . The deletion is

Problem persists with 8.3.2 as well. CIFS server is stopped, but I still can't delete the CIFS server - it asks for AD credentials, but that whole AD environment is gone. Any solutions? Any way we can force deletion of CIFS assets within an SVM so I can eventually delete the SVM?
