Hi,
Just reiterating...basically, "vserver active-directory show" commands only shows the 'computer account name' that you have created from the storage side voluntarily.
For example:
I have a brand new SVM with nothing configured (Protocol wise) but just one data LIF.
Now, if I want I can create a computer account in the Active Directory for this VSERVER
I will run:
::> vserver active-directory create 'cmd'
Once this is created, I can verify the 'computer account name' in the Active Directory OU=computers.
On the storage side: If I run this command, it will show up:
::> vserver active-directory show 'cmd'
It will show the one I created just above.
However, if instead of running the active-directory create 'cmd', had I setup the CIFS server for this vserver, it would also create a 'computer account under 'OU=computers' in Active-Directory by authenticating with Domain you provided during cifs setup. However, when account is created using 'CIFS setup', it wil NOT show-up using "active-directory show" 'cmd'
Similarly, once I have setup CIFS server, I cannot use the command 'active-directory create' command, b'cos having both a CIFS server and an Active Directory account for the same Vserver is not supported. You will have to first delete the CIFS account in order to use that 'active-directory create command.
I am guessing, if the CIFS is already setup for your vserver, then there should be 'computer account' created for this CIFS_VSERVER in Active Directory under OU=computers, and nothing should show up on storage side when you run 'active directory show ' cmd.
Thanks!
