yes, you need to enable ABE using emcabe. No impact to the share. I assume you understand what ABE does ? Today users who are not permitted to see a folder will get access denied, once you enable ABE on VNX they will not see that folder(s) period.
Hello,  I have a new Windows 2012 R2 File Server cluster utilizing a VNX 5100 array.  I understand EMCABE is needed to enabled Access Based Enumeration but most information I see does not mention Windows.  I have setup ABE before and we use it company wide with Windows and Celerra (CIFS).  Even though I have enabled ABE on my Windows 2012 server shares (very simple), it is not working.  Do I also have to enabled ABE on the VNX using the EMCABE utility?  thank you!
