Connect to NetApp Release 8.2.5P3 7-Mode with MMC

hampe — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:27:56 GMT

We have NetApp Release 8.2.5P3 7-Mode and we cannot get the CIFS management using the "Connect to another computer" from the Server Manager (MMC) of a Windows 2016 or 2019 Server. It doesn't work to the first controller, connection to the second works fine. Both are configured exactly the same way, users etc.

Can anyone tell us the "prerequisites" that needs to fit to connect, we don't know further where to check on the NetApp.

Thank you in advance.

Regards

LIkely your organization updated it's DC's and since your 7-mode box doesn't have the appropriate patch you are broken

You need to go to 8.2.5P5.

Make sure you read the fixes from P5.
