EMC Home Directories
Hi all
There seems to be multiple threads opened but I thought I would post our predicament!
We are just implementing the EMC Home Directories part of the Celerra and it has been successful (have set quota’s etc).
However, when (As an IT admin, I would need to do this on a rare occasion!) I navigate to a home directory of a user (their home paths are \\CIFSSERVER\HOME but I navigate to the \\CIFSSERVER\C$\STAFFHDFS\STR\%USERNAME% and get the below error)
It’s imperative I can get access to these drives any ideas?
Merry Christmas and thanks for your help

Hi
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Yes I got it sorted, reg key was done fine - had to apply the Add Admins to roaming profile on the domain level Gpo
Weird huh?
Many thanks and happy new year

There is a key in the register that can be changed so that adins have access to user's homedir
By default now only users have access
Look in the cifs documentation or in PowerLink and knowledge database

OK I found the doc and changed the FLAG key in HKEY LOCAL MACHINE and then deleted the old home directory of my test acct, let it recreate with the registry key set and still the same issue
Permissions on the top dir (staff-hdfs) are as follows
When I get to the domain directory it creates (STR) I get the following
When I try and set permissions on the STR directory, it doesn't let me?
I have a feeling I may need to log this with EMC support but if anyone has any ideas???
Thanks Richard

Thanks Claude that is helpful - can you point me where to get to the documentation? I am a new Celerra admin and I am a bit nervy as I have done the nas ops course however this is my first big change of this!

Are you sure your account is in the Celerra CIFS servers local Administrator group?

Hi Rainer ... yup
mrharrisr is my acct, which is also in the domain admins group (along with Administrator etc). I have tried logged in as both users but to no avail
Merry Christmas btw.

Sorry - can't see the pictures on the iPhone Email
I would suggest to check the ACLs on the homedir - either from Windows or via server_cifssupport
Merry Christmas

I can't even get to the ACLs via Windows as i, nor Admins, are the owners?
[nasadmin@nascs01 ~]$ server_cifssupport server_2 -acl -path /staff-hdfs/str/user
server_2 : done

Thanks for the feedback
Could you explain a bit more so that others can avoid the problem?
How does you ACL look now?

Well ... here are the new ACLs (and it works perfectly and just the way i want it!)
And then with the GPO, on the domain level, in Comp Config -> System -> Profiles, I enabled "Add the Administrators security group to roaming user profiles"
Hope this is OK
