We are using 8.2.4P2 7-Mode , Windows 10 clients loosing connection to CIFS shares intermittently.

Errors are like 'Path is not available',Access denied though they have all the access.We cross checked with network team and there is no issue at network side.

I could fix the issue by adding windows credential in Credential Manager.
