Cifs name lookup failed with dynamic home drives

JGPSHNTAP — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 19:24:15 GMT

Ok, so i'm confused... I do the following

show-user -vserver vserver1 -username myusername

Vserver: vserver1 (internal ID: 3)

Error: Lookup of CIFS account name procedure failed
[ 1 ms] Successfully connected to ip 10.1.1.1, port 445 using
TCP
[ 9] Successfully authenticated with DC
mserver.mydomain.com
[ 12] Could not find Windows name 'localvserver\myusername'
**[ 12] FAILURE: CIFS name lookup failed

Vserver : vserver1
Username : 'localvserver\myusername'

Why on earth is it pointing to my local vserver and not my domain.

It should come up as

mydomain\myusername

I'm confused as to why this is happening, and I missing an option. secd returns authentication fine, and my HD mounts fine. I'm running 9.0RC2, I believe this started in 9.0

Hi,

Please refer KB 2026949 secd.unexpectedFailure: vserver (vserver_1) Unexpected failure. Error: Lookup of CIFS account SID procedure failed. (requires login)

The issue was the difference between commands in 8.3 and 9.0. In 9.0.

In 9.0 you need to put -username domain\id
