The filer needs an account in the domain just like a user has an account in the domain. Server Manager is used to create the account. Once the account is created you run cifs setup (not setup) to join the domain.

Ontap will allow you to manage shares and local group accounts using Server Manager and User Manager.

Thanks for the help on this. I have upgraded ontap (first for everything.. painless... really painless.. rather nice!)

I set up a PDC for my NT machines. now the question that I have is, how to add in a windows domain, (without rerunning setup) and use the server manager to manger the netapp.

I get "access denied" on the NT machine when trying to connect to the netapp (720, Ontap 5.3.5R) with the server manager.

Reading the SAG it appears that you can EITHER have nfs or cifs client administration..

The IIS white paper (http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/3078.html) is rather helpful, for those that are trying to use the netapp as a backend data store, thanks Paul for pointing me to this!)

Thanks!!
