Hello, all!
I've a virtualized lab with an ONTAP simulator which I tinker with to test stuff... Well, I tried using cifs broadcast command but without success.
I opened up some shares a workstation (within the domain) and from the domain controller, using 2 different usernames. I then tried sending out a broadcast for the volumes (shares) user PC was accessing...
storage> cifs sessions
Server Registers as 'STORAGE' in Windows 2000 domain 'LAB'
Filer is using sl for DOS users
Selected domain controller \\MERKUR for authentication
====================================================
PC IP(PC Name) (user) #shares #files
192.168.0.111() (LAB\administrator - root)

192.168.0.102() (LAB\pc - pcuser)

I did the same for the other username. Nothing happened. What am I missing?
Cheers,
