Adding User in Vfiler

skellner — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:03:51 GMT

I try to add a user in a vfiler. New-NaUser does not work in the vfiler context. It fails with an error message. Now I try to do it with Invoke-NaSsh to the hosting filer and the command useradmin user add miguser -p xxxx -g migration. The command works in the workflow. However, the user is not added in the vfiler although there is no error message in the messages. When I issue the same command on the cli the user is added. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Attached a few log extracts.

Stephan,

We had a pretty lively conversation about this a while back. Take a look at this link and if that doesn't help then let me know.
