I trust this is an individual's surmise and no more. I have not heard of this remote possibility in any shape or form. We rely absolutely on mixed mode presentation to our users; its one of the keystone elements of our single authentication, single filestore architecture. Losing this would be too much to contemplate.

Does anyone know the future of the security mode -- "mixed mode"? Several co-workers returned from NetApp training stating that this particular mode is not encouraged and may be dropped in the not too distant future from NetApp support.
Has anyone else heard this or can confirm this to any degree? We are about to set up a new Filer and I'm trying to decide what to do with a volume that is currently configured for mixed mode security on an old Filer.
If anyone has experiences changes from mixed mode to either all CIFS or NFS, I'd appreciate their inputs as well.
Thanks.
Tracy
