CIFS configuration ERROR

I'm receiving errors every time I try to run the configuration wizard script to CIFS configuration:

I think there may be an issue with your AD...

Favored Addresses:
X.X.X.3 DC3-BURYATIA PDCBROKEN
X.X.X.4 DC4-BURYATIA PDCBROKEN

Can you check directly on these AD servers to make sure they are happy themselves and that the directory is fully intact?

How I can get access to Knowledgebase (for example

https://now.netapp.com/Knowledgebase/solutionarea.asp?id=kb23526

https://now.netapp.com/Knowledgebase/solutionarea.asp?id=kb5280)

for resolve my problem?

This pages are not accessable for me - unauthorized access

Thanks.

I have the same problem. I had 3 active directory servers and decommissioned one 2K3. My remaining 2 are Win2K8R2 (in Win2K3 domain level mode). They seem to be working find and dcdiag doesn't show any real problems...

Any help appreciated!

Could you send the output of :

cifs resetdc

command?

I did not have time for serious troubleshooting. The solution for me was to turn my Windows Server 2003 Active Directory server and have it rejoin the domain as an active directory server. If I configured the NetAPP to speak with that server... things worked. It would not speak with the WIn2K8 servers.

All active directory checking that I did showed that AD was working fine (replication, etc). Our active directory is still working well... however, I have to have that Win2K3 in place for the NetAPP to work.

Check to see if there is a defined setting for options cifs.scopeid. If one is present and options cifs.netbios_over_tcp.enable on is also set, verify that the scope ID setting is required/correct. If this cannot be verified, terminate CIFS, set the options cifs.scopeid to "" (that is, leave blank) and then re-enable CIFS. Check to see if the access is restored.

Depending on your version of Data ONTAP you need to upgrade to support Windows 2008. Please us the IMT (support. netapp.com) to validate your version of ONTAP with Windows 2008 support.

The following all require SSH access (Putty) and using CLI commands. Sorry not going to spend hours with GUI click instructions.

You may need to enable smb signing depending on your GPOs and security settings. 'options cifs.signing.enable on'.

Check to see if you have preferred domain controllers configured (and if one of them was what you retired). 'cifs prefdc print'. If so then change them using 'cifs prefdc delete' and 'cifs prefdc add'

Also enable SMB2. .Issue 'options cifs' and review the output. Then enable smb2 with 'options cifs.smb2.enable on'. This won't resolve your issue but at least you will have SMB2 support enabled for Windows 7 \ 2008.

Unfortunately… no.

My solution is that I'm moving all the data off the device and I'm gonna trash the piece of junk. I get better service from our office NetGear NAS than I do from this box. L

A typical culprit is time is off by more than 5 minutes... compare the date output to one of the AD servers... change the time within 5 minutes (kerberos requirement with AD) and cifs resetdc.

Hello

Could you help me with a strange problem that we have with one of our Filers. I will explain.

2 Filers with the same software version:

Data ONTAP Release 7.3.4: Thu May 27 18:31:59 PDT 2010 (IBM)

The same CIFS config:

NetBios Domain: xxxxxx
Windows 2003 Domain Name: xxxxxx.com
Type: Windows 2003
Filer AD Site: xxx8

Current Connected DCs: \\DC01
Total DC addresses found: 3
Preferred Addresses:
x.x.x.25 DC01 PDC
x.x.x.1 PDC
x.x.x.10 PDC
Favored Addresses:
None
Other Addresses:
None

Connected AD LDAP Server: \\DC10.xxxxxxxx.com
Preferred Addresses:
x.x.x.1 DC01

x.x.x.25 DC10

x.x.x.10

Favored Addresses:
None
Other Addresses:
None

Our DC controllers are 2008R2,...

The problem: Every night one of the filers switches to the mode Win 2000 and we are loosing the connection to LDAP, while the other filer works fine.

.......
Type: Windows 2000
........

Not currently connected to any AD LDAP server
Preferred Addresses:
x.x.x..1 BROKEN
DC10.xxxxx.com
x.x.x.25 BROKEN
DC01.xxxxx.com
x.x.x..10 BROKEN
.......
Favored Addresses:
None
Other Addresses:
None

In orde to overcome the problem for 1 day, we have to re-run the CIFS setup, but obviously this is not the way forward.

Any help greatly appriciated!
