Okay.. I got it working by installing a Windows XP VM and using the change password option as suggested by Peter above.  Issue stands resolved now.  Thanks !  ~Taz
Hello Admins,   I created a file system and created a "standalone" cifs server. details below:  [nasadmin[NAME] ~]$ server_cifs server_2 server_2 : 256 Cifs threads started Security mode = NT Max protocol = SMB3.0 I18N mode = UNICODE Home Directory Shares DISABLED Usermapper auto broadcast enabled  Usermapper[0] = [127.0.0.1] state:active (auto discovered)  Enabled interfaces: (All interfaces are enabled)  Disabled interfaces: (No interface disabled)  CIFS Server(standalone) NETBIOS[WORKGROUP] RC=2  Comment='EMC-SNAS:T7.1.65.8'  if=cge0-1 l=192.168.1.161 b=192.168.1.255 mac=0:c:29:20:d6:f8  Password change interval: 0 minutes  [nasadmin[NAME] ~]$ server_export server_2 server_2 : export "/" anon=0 access=128.221.252.100:128.221.253.100:128.221.252.101:128.221.253.101 share "oracle001" "/oracle_shr" umask=022 maxusr=4294967295 type=Global  Am trying to access the oracle001 share which I created on my windows 7 laptop. But as I try to map the share to a drive, I get a login / password. I tried using my laptop's Administrator / password and also the Celerra nasadmin and root logins, but had no luck.  Is there anything am missing ? Would appreciate any quick responses.  Thanks in advance.  ~Taz
