Gabriel,

Could you elaborate a bit?

You mention that the unix machines are a member of domain A - I assume you mean SAMBA member servers? Are these the machines you are trying to use to manage the 'partner'?

When you run CIFS setup, are you doing so in NT4 or AD-type domains? Do you have WINS? (With NT4 domains, you must pre-create the computer account, but WINS entries are added automatically - with AD, the computer account is pre-created, but the DNS entries are not added automatically - DDNS is fixed in 7.1 I believe).

Are you getting a specific error message when you try to manage it via computer managers? Can you connect to it at all, or is there a permissions problem (a filer administrator account is required to manage the computer via the MMC). FYI - groups cannot be added via MMC...

Glenn

Dear Friends,

FAS270C (hostnames: master and patner) installed in an environment with Unix and Windows. NFS and CIFS licensed. The Unix machines belong to domain A and the Windows machines belong to domain B.

All the volumes on "master" are NFS.

We are configuring some volumes on "patner" for NFS and some for CIFS in

different domains.

After running "cifs setup" on patner, it can be seen on the network in the domain B, but it cannot be managed (e.g. computer management to add users).

Will appreciate your advice.

Regards, Gabriel.
