Greetings,

I'm seeing some odd behavior with user access on a share. I cannot reproduce the behavior on demand so I have not opened a case with NetApp.

Environment - Older 7-mode filer name FAS with local user account named Foo. Newer CDOT filer named NEWFAS with local user account named Foo.

We migrated data off FAS to NEWFAS, renamed FAS to OLDFAS, then renamed NEWFAS to FAS. The AD object FAS was removed and re-created for the original name. The same local accounts were set up on each filer.

Problem - Because the local accounts on different filers have unique SIDs, the data copied came over with access permissions that usually show the SID for the Foo account (S-1-2-34-5...) I understand and am OK with this.

What happens at a random time, and unknown reason is sometimes when using Windows Explorer to view properties, it occasionally shows OLDFAS\Foo instead of just the SID (S-1-2-34-5...) . I had a couple of people verify I wasn't crazy (my mother had me tested) and after checking properties on a couple of other files, it all went back to the SID.

I'm at a loss to figure out how exploring to a share on FAS can occasionally figure out that the SID is for OLDFAS\Foo and correctly map a name when 99.9% of the time it only shows the SID.

Thanks,

Jeff
