Scenario:
FilerA is installed at SiteA mirroring to FilerB at SiteB. Both are in Windows networks and both are using CIFS. SiteA is in NTDom1 and SiteB is in NTDom2. NTDom1 and NTDom2 are Windows NT domains, Active Directory is not implemented, and their is no trust relationship between the two NT Domains. FilerA has been using global groups and users from NTDom1 on its ACL's.
SiteA along with FilerA ceases to exist for whatever reason. SiteB breaks the mirror and brings the volumes mirrored from FilerA online. Is it possible to access the files on those shares since NTDom1 no longer exists?
i really don't think so i am not a windoz guru but i think file's ACL rely on the domain if you loose the PDC, then ACL you get are invalid, or point to strange people I think your only way out of that is to at least (ask to gurus) set up a trust relationship beetween two domains this way ACL (users) of one domain would be able to be taken in charge by the other domain. bye
