Thanks!
I've passed your suggestion on to the folks in NYC who take care of that
particular cabinet. I'll wait and see if they check that.
Thanks again...

The answer to my problem was to turn on SMB2 on the filer.
options cifs.smb2.enable on
Hope it helps

Original Post:
Greetings! This is probably basic stuff. However, I had no OnTap
training and no experience with DFS systems... We have two main offices.
The NetApp FAS cabinets are in the New York office, and many of us needing
access are in the mid-west office (central Illinois, USA). Our network is
Microsoft Windows 2003 (Native) Active Directory. I am not sure as to the
OnTap version, but I believe it is 7.3. Client machines are mostly
Windows XP SP3, Professional. However, we see the same problem from other
Windows 2003 servers... When we in Illinois attempt to connect to the
departmental drive through its DFS address, we receive the following:
+
aspca.local\nyc\Info Technology is not accessible. You might not have
permission to use this network resource.+ +Contact the administrator of
this server to find out if you have access permissions.+ +The network path
was not found.+ We get this response regardless of whether we try to
access with least privileged user credentials or with domain administrator
credentials. If we simply enter the address "
aspca.local\nyc", we see
numerous folders (including Info Technology). With two exceptions, we
receive the same message if we click on the folders. If instead of
entering the DFS address and instead enter the fully qualified domain name
(FQDN) of the NetApp filer and the folder name, we gain access to the
folder with the appropriate read/write/modify rights. Being curious, I
went back to the DFS address (in Windows Explorer,
aspca.local\nyc) and
began right-clicking on folders to check "Properties". I saw a tab
"DFS". For the two folders to which we do have access, the DFS tab said
"Active: Yes". For our departmental folder, the DFS tab said "Active:
No". In that tab was a button to set DFS to "Active: Yes". I told this to
the administrator in New York. I was told the following (probably as a
learning experience?): I was told that the department members in the New
York office did not see the same errors we were seeing. I was also told
there was the possibility of the system access "breaking" for the New York
department members should I click this button. Finally, I was told to
come to this forum and ask... 1. Is the lack of access to a folder via the
DFS address by people at the remote location due to the DFS Active setting
set to "No"? 2. What else could be causing the lack of access via this
address? (Again, access via FQDN name is successful.) 3. What may or may
not happen should I or someone else click the "Set to active" button in
the "Properties - DFS" tab? Thanks...
