VNXe Local User Management Error on a stand alone CIFS Server

Question

Hi All,

I create VNXe local users on a stand alone CIFS server. (Don't using AD and DNS)
I am setting in the following way By referring to the VNXe online help.

=============================================================================================================================================
1.Using a text editor, add the stand-alone CIFS server name to the local Windows system's hosts file and lmhosts file located in the
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\etc\ directory.

2.Use the following command to specify the security context for the Windows logon session:

net use \\ /user:< Local_Username>
= name or IPv4 or IPv6 address; for MMC snap-in, stand-alone NetBIOS name.
= username of an account with administrative rights on the stand-alone server.

3.Open Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management and select Action > Connect to another computer.

4.The Select Computer dialog box appears.

5.Enter the CIFS server name (not the IP address) in the Another Computer field. You will not be prompted for the username and password.

6.After the connection, and try to change the security of the share folders,
But I cannot operate the following error is displayed.

Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed.
Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again

Windows 2008 / Windows7

=============================================================================================================================================

Please tell someone if you know the solution to this problem.

Best Regards

Hi,

I was able to make settings somehow.

Change the login conditions and try to following procedure.

=============================================
User:administrator
Password:VNXe CIFS Server Administrator's Passowrd
WORKGROUP
=============================================

1.Using a text editor, add the stand-alone CIFS server name to the local Windows system's hosts file and lmhosts file

2.Delete All Sessions
net use /del *

3.Start MMC Console
compmgmt.msc /computer=stand-alone CIFS server name

「Multiple connections to a server…」Message is no longer displayed.

I was able to change the security of the share folders!!

Thanks.

Hi,

Did you use IP address or Standalone server name while using net user command and please provide the output of this command:net view and see how many sessions for the vnxe cifs server are established.

Thanks
