CIFS cannot connect to AD LDAP server or DC

TRACYLAUGLE — Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:53:48 GMT

Hello. I am a fairly new NetApp admin, and have very little formal training on NetApps. I was thrown into the job, and I'm trying to learn as much as possible. We have multiple NetApps in a WAN. One the of filers I have from out of state is not behaving well. I can't access the CIFS share on the filer, and when I putty into the filer, it starts throwing errors. There are two domain controllers in the same rack as the filer, so it should be able to connect with no issue. I ran a "cifs domaininfo" query, and this was my response:

XXXFSG01> cifs domaininfo

I have checked out my AD structure, and there are no issues that I can find. I also ran a dcdiag on the domain controllers, and there were no errors. I even tried deleting the filer from Active Directory and recreating it, but that didn't help. I keep getting the message that there is an invalid password, but I have no idea what password it is referring to. The time is also good between the NetApp and the DCs. Obviously, the NetApp thinks there is something wrong with the AD, but I have no idea where to go from here. None of my other NetApps is having this issue. Any help will be much appreciated.

I'd try cifs testdc and rerun cifs setup

it looks like filers can't talk to DC. could be network issue as well. Just guessing

regards

As previously said network is a possible cause.

Other things could be time on filer is too far off time on DC.

AD object for filer has been deleted or change by a Windows admin.

If all users are experiencing a problem, you may need to rebind it to AD - run CIFS setup at command prompt

SMIL.MIL. The answer is classified. =P

My guess is this specific issue was: Tue Jul 30 14:08:40 GMT [cifs.trace.GSS:error]: AUTH: Unable to acquire filer credentials: (0x96c73a18) Invalid password.

which was fixed by rerunning cifs setup.
