VNX5200 Home Directory Permissions
We have setup home directories on two VNX5200 systems, one works fine but the other sets up the user accounts (when put in the profile path in AD) but does not allow the user access to the automatically created share \home. If the user browses to \data\ then it works fine.
I have checked the registry settings and permissions on the data store and the only difference I can find is that the non- working one is missing the two Unix UID / GID permissions.
Is this the cause of the problem? Is there any way I can fix this or do I need to remove the data volume and recreate it and the shares. It's not too much work if I need to do this but wanted to know if there was a better way.
Thanks
Alastair

difficult to determine for your description
If its just permission then you should be able to fix them from NFS

I think it is just permissions. I can't find any other differences apart from volume size etc that I think would be relevant.
I'm not familiar with NFS and we don't use NFS exports in our environment. Can you give me some pointers as to where I should be looking or doing?
Thanks

what *exactly* are the Unix permissions that you think are different ?

We don't use the unix side at all but manage everything from windows. The share is the one one created in the VNX UI not the special HOME share created
For a working share the permissions from windows are
CREATOR OWNER: Special
Authenticated Users: Special
UNIX UID=0x0 *: Special
UNIX GID=0x0 *: Special
\G.STV.helpdesk: Full (this is our administrators group)
For a non working share
CREATOR OWNER: Special
Authenticated Users: Special
\G.STV.helpdesk: Full (this is our administrators group)
\Administrators: Full

that doesnt show what could cause the problem
I would suggest to open a service request so that support can look at the config in more detail.
You can look at the ACL's in more detail using server_cifssupport
However from the description I am not convinced that its a ACL or permission problem
could be a slight difference in the homedir config or other settings
