Hello Aaron:

A few things to try.

1. Could be a simple typo when typing in the username/password.  It is unlikely to be this easy but it could be.
2. You might have a DNS problem.  You can use the vserver show command and check to see if you DNS information is correct.
3. Try pinging your active directory server.  Use both IP addresses and DNS names.

That would eliminate the easier problems.  If that isn't enough, you might need to send more information.

And, note that cDOT LIFS have "protocol" as one of their
characteristics.  make sure the lif has CIFS as a valid protocol:

vcluster::*> net inte show data01 -inst
  (network interface show)

                      Vserver Name: vs0
            Logical Interface Name: data01
                              Role: data
                    Data Protocol: nfs, cifs, fcache

...

"data protocol" is set at LIF creation time, and can't
be changed with a "net inte modify..."
