Verify that the qtree security style is set to "ntfs" using the "qtree security" command. If the share is not contained within a qtree, then you'll need to verify the security setting on the volume with the same "qtree security" command.

Just as a disclaimer: There are potentially undesireable ramifications of changing the security style for a volume/qtree in a mixed protocol environment (NFS + CIFS). If you have NFS going to these shares, then there's more work to be done than just flipping security styles.

Subject	Active Directory security on CIFS volumes

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?
