[NAME], for me it's working. Indeed, your AD-Account, from what you are using to "administrate" (or a local account or what ever) has to be in "Access->Memberships and Roles->Groups->LOCAL:System->Administrator" there you have to add your "AD-User" or what ever. Per default you are in Access Zone "SYSTEM" so you have to put your Account in there. Once saved that in the AccessZone Administrator group you could login with MMC. Do you have more Access Zones? add them in the other AZ as well. For me this is working. But i think there are quite more very important informations, i never see them in all my  Dell documentaion like "Best Practice SMB" and so on. Like WHERE is the right start to create a SMB-Share? Is it WEBIF or MMC? With which Account so i have to login to WEBIF in order to have the right permission on the smb-share? Actualy i'm using the "default" Admin/root account to login into Isilon and create the smb-share, but than checking via cli there are some faulty permissions. So i have to change it after creating the share via cli and i would say, it has to be in WEBIF or in MMC. It's a workprocess that comes with a break if i only could do this like i described above. So for now we have the effects, that in an other AZ there is as AuthProvider our AD and one local:system user to connect with, but however by default a colleague if mine is connecting with "Window Explorer", create a Folder with his AD-User account and however, the user-id the folder or the file is a LOCAL:System Account, that even isn't in this Access Zone. Therefor i wanted to get realy best pratices for smb-shares, that realy help. Regards Sebastian
Hi Experts Did anyone try managing Power Scale SMB Shares using MMC ? PowerScale OneFS 9.4.0.0 Web Administration Guide | Dell US Here is what I get when connecting to the Isilon IP.  Neither DR or PROD work properly. [IMAGE] [IMAGE] Here is what I see when I connect to a node IP.  It doesn’t show anything besides my mmc connection. [IMAGE]
