create new cifs share

This should go like this:

- Create VDM first

- Create CIFS server on the VDM

- Create CIFS FS and mount it

- Create CIFS Share

does not matter, create CIFS server inside of that VDM

Thanks for the reply. I've done this alredy:

-Create network interface

-Create vdm

-Create FS

Should I delete the FS and then go back create CIFS first or am I ok?

Thanks again!

one last question. any tips on managing the permissions of the cifs server and the shares beneath it? is there integrated windows management or no?

thanks again for all the responses browsing my share as we speak!

Take a look at these videos for more information:

thanks that did the trick. i did get an error that the cifs server could not join the domain though. any ideas on that one?

check that all good just had to give that another go. maybe bad password.

thanks for your help!

you can use native window MMC, right click on my computer, Manage, Select "Connect to another computer", enter the name of your CIFS server and voila ..just like physical windows box.
