I am getting messages every 4 hours that the filer is searching for new Domain Controllers:
Tue Aug 26 18:04:23 IDT [Auth04:info]: Starting DC address discovery for NSTA-NT. Tue Aug 26 18:04:23 IDT [Auth04:info]: Starting WINS queries. Tue Aug 26 18:04:23 IDT [Auth04:info]: Found 3 BDC addresses through WINS. Tue Aug 26 18:04:23 IDT [Auth04:info]: Found 1 PDC addresses through WINS. Tue Aug 26 18:04:23 IDT [Auth04:info]: DC address discovery for NSTA-NT complete. 2 unique addresses found.
I tried setting prefdc in the cifs command, but this does not help. CIFS is working fine, I just want to eliminate these checks, or at least relegate them to once a day at 2am if possible! You might ask why bother? Well, once I saw that at the time of this check the filer "hiccupped" and I lost some CIFS sessions. So I would like to eliminate it if possible.
Thanks for your help,
Moshe
