CIFS administration tasks

While configuring the CIFS protocol on an SVM through System Manager, one step is joining the CIFS server to the domain. Which statement about this task is NOT TRUE?

  • A You need to provide fully qualified Active Directory Domain Name.
  • B You need to provide credentials of the user who has privileges to create a machine account in the domain.
  • C You need to provide the CIFS protocol license for the SVM.
  • D You need to provide CIFS server or net BIOS name of the SVM.
Explanation

Joining an SVM CIFS/SMB server to Active Directory requires the CIFS server’s NetBIOS name, the Active Directory domain details/FQDN, and credentials for an account authorized to add the server’s machine account to the domain. A CIFS license must be installed as a configuration prerequisite, but it is not a value provided as part of the domain-join operation.
