We have replicated this issue on two separate NetApp 2020s at this point. We have the homedir setup as hidden shares, and when you create a new user (and the home directory folder), the user can successfully map to \\filer\username$. So that is working perfectly.
However, when a user changes their user ID (i.e. marriage or divorce), it takes up to 48 hours for the new \\filer\username$ mapping to be accessible by the user. We change the user ID in Active Directory (along with display name), and change the folder name on the Home Directory share to match the new username. After doing this, the user cannot map to the new directory name until a couple of days has past. The user can successfully use other CIFS shares during this time.
From the NetApp, if we run cifs homedir showuser username and it does show the association to the new folder name, so we know it at least sees that the ID has changed. However, the hidden share will not work. Additionally, if you look at the security of the directory folder, the display name for the user object still shows the old user display name. Running cifs homedir load -f does not seem to help.
Is there another command that will make the NetApp associate the new hidden share correctly? Thanks for any responses to this!
