Unity AD user and Local User ...
HI there ....
Do you know local administrator is enabled when CIFS server is member of AD in Unity ?
My customer found local administrator in unity ( joining AD ) . Also would like to know the password for this user .
Also does Unity supports AD User and Local User within same CIFS server ?
Found below doc ... so seems to be it is not supported mix env ...
https://www.emc.com/collateral/TechnicalDocument/docu69322.pdf Page 8
The NAS server can be either a member of a Windows Active Directory domain or
operate independently of any Windows domain as a stand-alone SMB server.
but not sure if local admin user will be created upon joining AD server ...

Could you try Password123# for local administrator? (should force for change)
Noticed that, local administrator password is mandatory on standalone cifs servers. No such option for domain joined CIFS Servers ( i guess this is for security and simplicity)
However it can be (re)set by domain admins.
"compmgmt.msc /computer:\\ " -> Local Users and Groups -> Users -> Administrator
