Administrator Guide

NOTE: You can create an initial SMB share when you create a NAS container. However, you cannot congure and enable
the NAS antivirus service. You must modify this initial SMB share to congure and enable the antivirus service.
1. Click NAS, expand NAS clusters and Local Containers, and then select the NAS container name.
2. Click Create SMB share to open the wizard.
3. In the General Settings page:
a. Type a name for the SMB share in the Name eld. An SMB share name can contain up to 24 characters, including letters,
numbers, dollar sign ($), and underscores. Fewer characters are accepted for this eld if you type the value as a Unicode
character string, which takes up a variable number of bytes, depending on the specic character.
NOTE: Do not create a regular SMB share with the name homes. If you attempt to create a share with this
name, the following error is displayed: Share name is reserved for home shares.
b. Type the full path of the shared directory in the Directory eld. Directory names can contain 256 characters, including one
preceding slash. The full path for an SMB share can contain up to 511 characters, including additional slashes.
Click Next. If the directory does not exist, it will be created automatically. You cannot modify the SMB directory.
4. Select the Enable Access-based Enumeration checkbox to enable this feature. This feature allows users of Windows Server
based le servers to list only the les and folders to which they have access when browsing content on the le server. This
restriction eliminates confusion that can occur when users connect to a le server and encounter a large number of les and
folders that they cannot access.
5. In the Antivirus Settings page, virus scanning is enabled by default. Optionally, you can also specify:
• File extensions to exclude
• Directory paths to exclude
• Size of les to exclude from virus scanning
• User access to large unscanned les
(When an SMB le is accessed by a client and it needs to be scanned, it is sent over the network to an antivirus scanner. In
some cases, the antivirus server has limits on the size of the les that it can handle or, in other cases, an administrator
might want to exclude frequently modied les from scanning for performance reasons.)
Select the options that you want and click Next.
6. In the Summary page, you can review your settings. To make changes, click Back to return to the previous screens. If your
settings are correct, click Finish to create your SMB share.
Set the SMB Password
Clients use the SMB password to access SMB shares.
To allow client access to SMB shares, you must set the SMB administrator password. If you do not set this password, you cannot
properly set the ownership and permissions for the SMB shares.
NOTE: The local administrator built-in account (Administrator), which appears in the list of local users in the NAS Cluster
– Local Users and Groups window, is the same account as the SMB administrator.
To set or modify the SMB password:
1. Click Group, expand Group Conguration, and then select the NAS cluster.
2. Click the Authentication tab.
3. Click Modify SMB administrator password.
4. In the SMB Administrator Password dialog box, specify the password and conrm it.
5. Click OK.
Modify an SMB Share Directory
1. Click NAS, expand NAS Clusters and Local Containers, and then select the NAS container name..
