You can view the SMB setup information in File Administrator.

  1. Navigate to Configuration > SMB > SMB Setup.
  2. In the SMB Setup pane, select the EVS from the list of EVS instances to view the associated SMB server names.
    The following table describes the settings on the SMB Setup page:
    Setting Description
    Mode
    Security Mode The configured security mode of the EVS.
    Domain Name The name of the domain in which the SMB server resides. The domain is set when the first SMB name is added.
    ADS Domain The domain where the SMB server is located.
    DDNS Indicates whether DDNS is enabled or disabled. By default, the SMB server is configured to use DDNS. To disable DDNS, click the edit icon, and set the DDNS toggle to Disable.
    NetBIOS
    NetBIOS When NetBIOS is enabled, it allows NetBIOS and WINS use on the SMB server. If the SMB server communicates by name with computers that use earlier Windows versions, this setting is required. By default, NetBIOS is disabled.
    Configured SMB server details
    SMB Server Name A list of SMB names added to the selected EVS.
    Mode Displays the mode for each SMB server name. Mode defines the authentication protocol used to communicate with the Windows network clients and domain controllers. The mode can be:
    • ADS: The Microsoft's Active Directory Services communication protocol (Kerberos) is used to communicate with the Windows clients and domain controllers.
    • NT4: The Windows NT4 communication protocol (NTLMSSP) is used to communicate with the Windows clients and domain controllers.
    Disjoint Indicates whether the DNS suffix matches the Active Directory domain primary DNS suffix.
    • no: There is no disjoint namespace between the DNS and ADS.
    • yes: There is a disjoint namespace between the DNS and ADS.
