Stop CIFS server Command in WFA

roi_becidan — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:23:58 GMT

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a WFA command using PowerShell for stopping the CIFS server on a specific SVM.

Apparently, there is no such command in the DataOnTap PowerShell Toolkit for stopping the CIFS server.

Does anyone have an idea?

Hi,

I'm not sure about WFA, but I believe there are Powershell commands for stopping and starting the CIFS service, depending on the version of Data ONTAP you are running;

7-mode:

Disable-NaCifs

Enable-NaCifs

cDoT;

Start-NcCifsServer

Stop-NcCifsServer

Thanks,

I found out that my powershell toolkit release was too old and these commands were not there.

After updating to version 3.1 I found the command you mentioned above.

Thanks Alot!

Roi.
