Mapping A Network Drive To The CIFS Share

To map a network drive to the CIFS share where ACLs are intended to be set:
  1. Select Connect using a different user name. When prompted, use the following credentials:

    <NetBios Name>\Administrator

    By default, the NetBios name is CIFSStorage. If it is not changed, enter, CIFSStorage\Administrator.

    • NOTE: You can change the NetBios name in the NAS Manager by navigating to Cluster Management > Authentication > System Identity.
  2. Follow the previous set of instructions to set the owner of the CIFS share to either a domain admin user account or the Domain Admins group.
  3. After the owner is set, unmap the network drive.
  4. Remap the network drive using an account that is a part of the domain administrators user group that ownership was set to previously. Follow Microsoft best practices and assign ACL permissions to users and groups accordingly. If the NAS service is not joined to an Active Directory domain, the built-in CIFS administrator account Administrator must be used to set any ACLs. To define SLPs, use MMC.
    • NOTE: Do not attempt to create a CIFS share using Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
