From what I can find, if a filer is not part of an AD forest, it will not listen on port 445 for SMB requests. Is there a way to change so that it WILL listen on port 445?
I know there is a way to turn it off, but not to force it. We have a process that attempts to contact the windows servers on 445 first and then falls back to 139 if it doesn't work on 445. It causes a small delay, but we have thousands of attempts an hour and even a small delay adds up. We have currently hacked a perl module to get around the issue, but I was hoping there was something we could do on the netapp side.
Thanks Jack
