Changing CIFS ACL from CS

Take a look at the "Multiprotocol CIFS environment" manual. There are 2 utilities on the Tools & Apps cd-rom called emcgetsd and emcsetsd that can do that. You will need to set bit 5 (if I remember correctly) of acl.extacl CIFS param (use server_param command).

Thanks for reply. emcgetsd and emcsetsd can change ACLs on mounted filesystem. But it's not recommended to mount anything on CS, isn't it?

you're right - NFS mounting a file system on the CS isnt recommended

there a ways around that - but I would suggest to use a Windows client to manipulate ACLs

P.S.: do you mean file/dir ACLs or share ACLs ?

I use nas_quotas to create home directory and set quota, server_file to change user list, but I can not deal with ACL.

server_file to change user list? Are you saying you are modifying the local groups database with server_file?

Yes. Are you saying it is not a good idea?

What is recommended method for add 100 users? To add them one by one using usrmgr.exe?

So what about changing ACLs using only Control Station? Is it possible?

Thats the same issue than using a MS Standalone Windows server. Use the tools Microsoft is providing.

How do you encrypt the password of each user, if you edit the localgroups file?

You have already opened another Thread for this issue. Of course there is a linux tool (emcsetsd) to change windows acls. As you already noticed in order to do this, you have to mount the FS to the Control Station.

Why don´t you use a windows box to script this? Using plink to set the quotas and using windows tools for the usermanagemant and the ACLs (f.e. cacls or xcacls)

currently the recommended method is to use Windows Tools and API's just like you would on a Windows server

you should be able to use most Windows CLI commands or something like PowerShell skripting

If you feel it would be important to have this capability on the Celerra control station I would suggest to open a Product Enhancement Request (PER) through marketing to let product management know
