Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble with a new filer and was hoping someone here can help me figure it out. I have a client that has a FAS2240 running ONTAP 8.1.2 with about 5 cifs shares setup. However, users on the domain are unable to access the shares. When they try to access the shares from their widows machines (windows 7), they're prompted to authenticate with a username and password. On keying this in, they get prompted again with an error that the username/password is incorrect. I have run/re-run cifs setup on the filer about 4 times now with no luck. Still getting the same issue. They client also has another filer, FAS2040, also running 8.1.2. That filer also has cifs shares and domain users can access them perfectly fine without being prompted for credentials.
Another thing is, I'm completely unable to access the administrative shares (C$, ETC$) either. I get the same prompt for credentials. It's almost as if the filer isn't really connected to the domain. I've done a "cifs testdc" which reports all as fine and "cifs domaininfo" which reports the correct info. I can do "cifs lookup" of domain users successfully, and DNS is also configured well, as I can ping hosts on the domain via hostname successfully. Anyone come across something like this?
I even went to the extent of altering all the cifs options on the 2240 to match those on the working 2040, with no success.
Help!
