After you created a standalone CIFS server its necessary to change the Administrator password from a Windows client before you can use.

Hello,

Thank you.

Now i can access share and can use it, but how to create new users/groups, set up permissions?

From where i can donwload these tools:

LGDUP,EMCACL...?

Thank you.

Please take a look at the CIFS manual - it's described there step-by-step

Local users / groups are administered using the normal Windows MMC tools

Emcopy and other utils are located on the Tools & Apps CD that was delivered with your system

Or you can download them from Powerlink / supportbeta.emc.com where you get the Celerra/VNX OS

Hello,

I have the same issue like this one:

https://community.emc.com/message/540457#540457

My CIFS share is stand alone and error is:

RPC Server is unavailable.

After creation of the standalone CIFS server – did you change the local Adminstrator’s password using WINDOWS tools ?

Yes, i've done this.

After rebooted both DMs now i can create user and groups and set permissions.

Thank you.

You can use MMC to create and manage users.

Computer Management>rightclick name>Connect to another computer>Celerra_compname>System Tools>Local users and Groups and then you can create users and groups and access th shares.

i don't have a test environment to test it but can you go to Start > Windows Security > Change a Password. Top field enter cifsservername\Administrator and then old and new password

Hi,

TO change the local admin password, the document recommends the following procedure:

To change the password of the local Administrator account, log in to a Windows client

and press Ctrl + Alt + Delete.

2. Click Change Password. The Change Password dialog box appears.

3. Fill in the fields as follows:

a. In the username field, type Administrator.

b. In the Log on to field, type the name or IP address of the CIFS server.

c. In the Old Password field, type the original Administrator account password you

typed when you enabled local users support.

d. In the New Password and Confirm New Password fields, type the new password for

the local Administrator account.

This is OK for Window XP but is not working for WIndows Server 2008 because there is no "Log on to".  CHanging the password simply does not work.

The following does not work either.

Computer Management>rightclick name>Connect to another computer>Celerra_compname>System Tools>Local users and Groups and then you can create users and groups and access th shares.

What would be the correct WIndows Server 2008 to change the password against the CIFS server?

Your help is appreicated.

Are you saying you don't have any Pre-2008 systems on your network?
