SMB Notify negotiation / Settings on Client / Server

Hello everybody,

i would like to get some knowledge about the interaction of client settings and server settings of change notifications.

For you my actual understanding of the technology.

Clientside:

i have to markers for change notifications in the registry documented from microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831129/en-us

1. NoRemoteChangeNotify

     -> Enables / Disables the ChangeNotification completely

2. NoRemoteRecursiveEvents

     -> Enables / Disables the ChangeNotification for subfolders

Isilon:

ChangeNotify

1. All

     -> Sends ChangeNotifications for folders an subfolders

2. NonRecursive

     -> sends ChangeNotification for active folder

3. None

     -> does not send any ChangeNotifications

Our current setting is: "NoRemoteChangeNotify = 0"; "NoRemoteRecursiveEvents = 1" and "ChangeNotify = ALL"

Question:

depending on my current settings my understanding would be, that the client tells the isilon, it just wants notifys to its working folder. Does it get this notifications or will the Cluster-Setting override the ClientSetting?

Is there any negotiation of this? Any "matchingtable" (like for smbsigning)

I already read the following articles which did not satisfy my needs:

Thanks in advance and best regards

The Isilon will never send more than the client requests.

But you can configure the Isilon to send *less* than requested.

None < NonRecursive < All/Recursive/Subfolders

No Events found!
