Configuring CIFS servers

To configure an CIFS server, perform the following tasks:
  1. Right-click the folder that you want to configure as CIFS share and select Properties > Sharing.
  2. Click the Advanced Sharing tab and select Share this folder.
  3. Click the Permissions tab.
  4. Click Add to add names of the users for whom you want to provide access to the CIFS share.
  5. Type the names and click OK.
  6. In the Permissions section under Allow column, select Full Control.
NOTE:The SMB2 option-RequireSecuritySignature must be set to False. The command to set the value from PowerShell is Set-SmbServerConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false. For more information on SMB2 support in iDRAC and LC, see the white paper available here.

Now the selected folder is shared over network and it can be accessed over CIFS protocol by using the \\<ip address>\share_name folder path.

NOTE:Ensure that the folder is accessible and folder names doesn't have any space. If the problem persists, check the network settings or retry using a share with fewer files and folders.
