wins authentication
by Timothy Cook 08 Feb '02

08 Feb '02

Admins, I have been tasked with setting up my filers so that win95/98 users can map my cifs shares without authenticating to my NT domain. Is it possible to do this without converting my filers from members of my NT domain to members of a workgroup? Two things that I am trying to avoid is the need to give every PC user an NT login, and the need to have a usermap.cfg entry for everybody in the company!

Thanks Chris, > That should of course have been "Grant Melvin". I appreciate the repost. I'm pretty much used to getting called "Melvin" as a first name instead of Grant [ its better than some of the other names people call me ;-D ]. > Apologies, but why is it that everyone at NetApp > uses an MUA that generates headers like > From: "Melvin, Grant" <Grant.Melvin(a)netapp.com> A bunch of us (especially manager types) use OutLook here and that's what it produces (at least the way its setup here). I agree it certainly adds to the confusion.

FW: Cannot delete folder in volume.
by Maglinger, Paul 08 Feb '02

08 Feb '02

My thanks to all "toasters" out there that responded. Of all, Rahul was closest. Before we set up an actual volume and "home directory", we had created some standard shared folders for testing. Apparently it's not a good idea when you have a folder shared out as \\bass\username and are using cifs.home_dir at the same time (which effectively creates a share by the same name). I removed the share (created in Server Manager) and was able to delete either folder. What was funny is that it seemed that the NT share(in Server Manager) took precedence over the cifs.home_dir share. In other words, going through Network Neighborhood would bring up the folders in the old share rather than those in the home directory share. Thanks again... -----Original Message----- From: Kumar, Rahul [mailto:Rahul.Kumar@sdrc.com] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 11:17 To: Maglinger, Paul Subject: RE: Cannot delete folder in volume. Hi Paul, If this is a explicit CIFS share then you have to unshare this shared folder from the Server manager and then delete it. Let me know if this helps.

I can't delete a folder in one of my volumes. I'm trying to delete it from Windows Explorer and I get an error that, "Cannot remove folder blahblah. There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use." I have checked the CIFS sessions and check Server Manager, and neither one of these shows that it is in use. Any thoughts (short of stopping and re-starting CIFS) on how I can free this up to delete it? Thanks! Remember, you are unique... just like everyone else!

by Edward Lee 08 Feb '02

08 Feb '02

I am currently running ONTap version 6.1R1P1 Is there any practical reason for me to upgrade to version 6.1.2? Does 6.1.2 provide any enchnacements that would increase performance or provide added functionality?

Hi Edward, You would probably want 6.1.2R1 versus 6.1.2. Customer support have an availability notice (field alert) at: http://now.netapp.com/NOW/products/field/alert115.shtml The features description can be found on the 6.1.2R2 software download page at: http://now.netapp.com/NOW/download/software/ontap/6.1.2R1 For instance we added support for three new tape devices: StorageTek T9940 with an HVD SCSI interface or Fibre Channel interface Quantum SuperDLT1 with an HVD or an LVD SCSI interface Seagate Ultrium LTO with an LVD SCSI interface Cheers, Grant For information on NetApp's Data Protection Solutions view http://www.netapp.com/solutions/data_protection.html. -----Original Message----- From: Edward Lee [mailto:edwardlee60@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 12:53 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: upgrade from 6.1.1 to 6.1.2?

cifs.homedir and home folder setting for users
by Colin Eric Johnson 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

I'm working on moving our users to a netapp filer and I am trying to use the cifs.homedir option. My understanding is that this should allow the user to mount \\filer\username as a cifs share even though their home directory is really on something like \\filer\somedirectory\username I can make this work just fine if I do this with my own account, as a domain admin. If I try to do this with any other users account (say a test user) or as Administrator (and attempt to change my own account) I get an error from Active Directory that reads "The home folder could not be created because: The network name cannot be found." Any clues based on what I have said to point at what I am doing wrong? What else I might want to look at? -- Colin E. Johnson | colinj(a)ccs.neu.edu Harming only the humorless since 1967
