I got access denied when I tried to expand the Shares folder. I was able to login and create my share using the http method described in another post. Do you happen to know how I can get around the denied problem, given that I can login to the server via nasadmin?

by default the sharepoint is available to everybody ... did you configure the first sharepoint ? ...cause they probably locked you out.

Not sure where to look. The path to the root is \\xxxns0001\fs02. From there I can remotely (via Win2K), change all permissions, create folders, etc. I just get Access Denied when using MMC Manage/Shares to actually see shares or do anything. Are the domain permissions settable via the http method? If so, I could not find out where.

You share folders just like you would do it on a remote windows server. Right click on my computer and select manage, select connect to another computer, enter name/ip of your CIFS server. Click on shared folders, right click on Shares and select New file share. You will see C$ share ..expand that and look for the folder you want to share.

there are Celerra tools, but most of them are for migration type of activities. You can get them from your CE.

when you are in MMC Manage/Shares ..can you right click on an existing share and look at Share Permissions as well as Security tab ?

find your CIFS server name in Active Directory ...right click, properties ..are you listed under Security tab ?

Yes, with all rights.

Thanks very much for your help. I will follow up with the CE group.

Are there tools I can load on my PC that might give me similar capabilities without going the http/nasadmin route? The folks who installed it did not leave much info.

strange ..at this point you should have "god" rights

I don't get that far. When I click on Shares I immediately get Access Denied.

Sounds like you are on right track. I am not in the Administrators group, but I do have all rights to the box via my specific login. I did not follow the part about adding the mmc plugin. From where? Is there a special plugin to help manage Celerra boxes?

no - its same plugin you use for managing shares on a regular Windows system - the Celerra is compatible to the Windows API there.

In order to create new share you have to have administrative privileges.
Either by being in the domain administrators group, which is automatically added to the Celerra administrators local group or you can ask your Windows domain admins to add your account to the Celerra's local Administrators group.

Just go to the Powerlink Documention section and download the "Using Windows Administrative Tools with Celerra" manual
