SPN and Short Name

Hi there ...

Is anybody know anything about SPN and SmartconnectZone in Windows2008 and Windows 2012 Environment ?

My customer found SPN was registered as shortname in windows 2008  and cannot connect to cluster ,But the Other hand,

In Windows 2012 registered SPN as shortname but COULD access to cluster ...


I found no KB like this .. so please let me know if anybody experienced like this .


FYI ..Msg appeared upon Windows 2008 ( no access )

AD server missing needed SPN(s) HOST/cifs01, HOST/cifs01.isilon.local; try 'isi auth ads spn check'


thanks

aya

    In general you are best to create both SPNs for short and FQDNs, but don't worry about doing it manually, create it automatically with the cluster.

    First check if the cluster thinks anything is missing:

    isi auth ads spn check --domain=domain.com

    Then fix it:

    isi auth ads spn check --domain=domain.com --repair --user=

    Then type in your password.  The user needs rights to be able to create SPNs on the machine account in question.

    Hope this helps,

    ~Chris

    Hello Ayas,

    SPN are created on every node you need to check missing entry on Isilon node and create entry.

    isi auth spn create

    It should work fine after that.

    Thanks

    Hi Chris and chughh

    Thanks so much for the answers ! I am afraid I am new for Isilon... let me ask simple question one more , so Isilon allow to use short name and FQDN ( one of then or Both or At least FQDN ) ? Cos user concerns shot name access as ok only win2012 ...( He thinks this is Win version issue ...)

    One tidbit,

    --machinecreds is very helpful, however it only works if the machine account is delegated rights to manage ‘Self’ in Active Directory. This is not done by default, so it would require an AD Admin to set up this little low-risk permission delegation on the machine account object.

    So, does REPAIR perform  the same function as adding?

    AWESOME!  I've been screwing around with this off and on to add spn's for an access zone I created. I kept getting an error code 19:  constraint violation.  I never tought to use --repair. 

    It worked like a charm
