Could we redirect a user to his home directory only by typing \\cifs_server?
Hello,
I'm working on a NAS solution based on NS-G8 connected to CX4-960.
I created CIFS server and I need to map the home directories of the users.
In fact, the customer want that the user type "\\cifs_server_name " and he is automatically mapped to his home directory.
for example the user paul.m has as home directory "\\cifs_server_name\share\paul.m" and he should type only \\cifs_server_name to access his home directory.
Could we do that?
Thanks

Not with just the CIFS server name
I would suggest to take a look at the Celerra homedir feature manual and white paper

see Primus emc261603 which was just created to document that.
This is an expected behavior.
It is controlled via registry key "HKLM\Software\EMC\Homedir\Flags", that has the following values :
0 : only the user logging in will have access (full control), this is the default
1 : inherit ACL from parent; use 0x0 behavior only if inheritance from parent is not allowed
2 : root owner, everyone full control - This was the behavior on 5.6 and earlier
So you need to change the registry of the compname to 2 if you want the 5.6 behavior.
