CIFS Server Types?

Right now when I look at the properties of my CIFS servers on our NS501 the type is listed as Windows NT4. We are getting ready to raise our AD domain level to Native Windows 2003 from mixed mode right now. Will I need to change the type on these CIFS servers and if so how would I do that?

    nothing you have to do on the Celerra side - If you're CIFS servers were joined to the domain while it was in mixed mode.

    If you joined them when you had a NT4 domain you might want to re-join

    What will happen to all of the folder permissions that are based on domain groups when we rejoin them? It was an NT domain when they were created.

    just contact EMC support to look at your setup and if needed they will advise a procedure

    If you have a recent NAS code take a look at server_checkup - it tests a lot of the functionality like domain controller and DNS availability
