Here the concern should be AD authentication (Kerberos). When we create CIFS server, it will register it as computer account in AD. If the end users use any alias apart from CIFS server name to access the shares, then the authentication fall back to NTLM. Kerberos authentication does not work. What is the rational behind using the DNS alias instead of CIFS server?

By default windows sets the mapped dirve label with the associated path. Through GPO, we can set a label to the mapped drive under "Label as" option. Either you have to use the GPO or use logon script to map drive and rename it. Sample script on Microsoft site : http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/7dd02dca-d177-478b-9a20-d0210413ab2d

the folder will be automatically created only when the user directly log on to the controller using domain credentials. If that is not the option, as long as the folder name is appropriately named as per the format you have chosen in the options cifs.home_dir_namestyle. If the option is not configured the default would be ntname and should the folder be the username then it will automatically mapped, but the folder should be there for mapping to be successful.

1. homedirectory created for each user normally will have the same username as the directory under the searc_path. Share the search_path and extract the directory names and cross check randomly the directory name with the username in the permissions tab on the folder. 2. drive mapping has to be done from the AD. Storage can only facilitate the homedirectory space. In the migration scenario, if you can keep the new storage name (\\cifsservername) same as the old name, then you can avoid doing the re-mappings.

there is no force user kind of functionality, but you can use -forcegroup" functionality for CIFS access. set the necessary permissions to the UNIX group on the directory or volume. configure that group as "-forcegroup" on the share.

Hi David, most common cause of these errors during the CIFS server creation are : 1. time skew difference between the DC and the controllers : max accepted time skew difference is 5 min. if the difference is higher than that then we get no logon servers available error. 2. DNS configuration - either it is DNS server is taking longer time to respond to the queries or there is DNS name space disjoin issue. Regards, Chowdary

Those machines are in same work-group, we still need to provide credentials because the credentials are not centralized. Workaround would be create same user:password on both controller and windows server. Windows 7 on wards, operating system has option to store the credentials so that wont be prompted for credentials in the subsequent access.

in 8.2 clustered ontap we have local users and groups and that can be used in this scenario, but CIFS server has to be joined to the AD domain. Workgroup mode is planned for future release

domain admin password change will not effect CIFS server. Admin password is only need while joining to AD. Once the computer account is created a corresponding account password will be created and will be authenticated by the computer account password when ONTAP contacts AD.

Hi Regis, If Linux servers are already been authenticated by AD, why would you need name-mapping? Once you configure CIFS server AD DC is added as an LDAP server to the Vserver and LDAP schema configuration is setup automatically. What is the challenge here and Is there something I am missing here? - Chowdary.
