We currently use this filer in production with windows 2000 and windows xp clients. I have had no user permission problems up until this point. The filer allowed us to join it to our domain and we can access the filer from windows clients and set AD permissions on folders in the file share using windows xp or 2000.
I am guessing this is Microsofts way of making windows more secure or maybe a small protocol difference with CIFS in Vista that the filer is not able to deal with.
BTW as I said I can connect to the filer with CIFS using accounts I explicitly setup in the filer, just not active directory accounts.

Can other non-visa clients access this CIFS share in the way you want your vista box to access it?
Just because your user is in AD, doesn't give it permissions on the share. You need to make sure that user has access on the filer through group and user permissions as well as the shares have to be given to that user or a group that user is in.
I would first make the exact same setup on an XP or 2000 box (whichever you have) and determine if it's a user setup problem or something that can be directly attributed to Vista.

I am just starting to test Vista against our netapp FAS 3020c filers. We use these machines with the CIFS license for basic file sharing. The shares have Active Directory permissions applied to them and the servers have been added to AD. In Vista, I cannot connect to the servers using an AD account. Only the accounts created on the filer itself will allow me to connect from Vista.
Has anyone run into this? Any solutions?
