Hi folks,
I have run into some ntfs permission problems on a filer running 8.0.1 7-Mode. I am not a Windows domain admin, just the filer admin. I thought that I could map the share using the filer Administrator account like this:
share: \filer.virginia.edu\sharename
user: filer.virginia.edu\Administrator
I can login just fine, but this account apparently has no special admin privileges. I get permission denied when I try to access folders whose ntfs permissions I suspect are wrong. I also tried filer.virginia.edu\root but login fails. So does this mean that only Windows Domain admins can repair these permissions? And what about this filer option:
wafl.nt_admin_priv_map_to_root
Must this be "on" ?
What do you do if someone revokes all access to a ntfs style folder?
Is there any way for a filer admin who is not a Windows domain admin to get unrestricted access to all ntfs security style objects? Can a Windows domain admin even do this?
I searched Netapp support but it just says to login as a user "with enough privilege" to change the permissions.
Thanks for any help. We almost always use Unix security style.
