I recently had a Software Vendor tell me that we needed to run the “cifs access share -m” command on the NetApp Filers/vFilers in order to integrate their product correctly. According to the NetApp documentation it “specifies that access is being modified for Windows machine accounts”. Okay…fair enough. But wouldn’t you typically have this access enabled for machine startup scripts and software delivery policies that run from network shares? Anyway, I needed to document this for a change record. So we logged onto our test vFiler and ran the “cifs shares” command, to give us a reference for a before and after comparison.
