We can find the GID assigned by the StoreAll CIFS server for any Active Directory Group. Here
we lookup the GID for Domain Admins by entering the following command:
[root@ibrix01a ~]# /opt/likewise/bin/lw-find-group-by-name IB\\Domain\
Admins
The command displays the following output:
Group info (Level 0):
====================
Name: IB\domain^admins
Gid: 1060635136
SID: S-1-5-21-3681183244-3700010909-334885885-512
NOTE: Backslashes have been used to escape special characters in the group name.
The SMB server’s file and folder create modes control the Linux permissions on files and directories
created over CIFS. These default to 0700 (read/write/execute to the owner).
The create modes can be managed with the ibrix_cifs command and with the GUI Wizard
(in Advanced Settings) when creating or modifying shares. Below is a usage example changing
a share’s default create mode for files:
[root@ibrix01a ~]# ibrix_cifs -m -s cifs1 -F 0770 Command succeeded!
In this command:
• The -m option specifies we are going to modify the setting.
• The -s option specifies the resource name of the share.
• The -D option displays the description of the share.
• The -F option specifies that we are changing the mask for files; use -M to change the directory
mask.
Managing SMB shares with Microsoft Management Console
The Microsoft Management Console (MMC) can be used to add, view, or delete SMB shares.
Administrators running MMC must have StoreAll software share management privileges.
NOTE: To use MMC to manage SMB shares, you must be authenticated as a user with share
modification permissions.
NOTE: If you will be adding users with the MMC, the primary authentication method must be
Active Directory.
NOTE: The permissions for SMB shares managed with the MMC cannot be changed with the
StoreAll Management Console GUI or CLI.
Connecting to cluster nodes
When connecting to cluster nodes, use the procedure corresponding to the Windows operating
system on your machine.
Windows XP, Windows 2003 R2:
