Try cifs testdc and cifs resetdc to verify that they are indeed communicating with the domain controllers and authenticating properly. Ran into a similar issue with one of our Development network filers. Turned out time synchronization wasn't working in that domain at all and the filers time had drifted to more than 5 minutes from the DC's. If Kerberos sees more than a 5 min time difference, it will not allow you to authenticate against AD.

I recently reinitialized one of our filers and I thought I had everything configured until I started testing CIFS shares. When I create a folder and try to change the permissions, the security tab is not available in windows. The other filer in the cluster allows me to change the permissions on individual folders. I thought I had gone through all the cifs options but I can't seem to change that behavior. Any ideas?
