Hello,

I've been using AIX cifs to mount windows XP shares with no problems till now.
Now it's Windows Server 2008 R2 - no go:

mount -v cifs -n host1/user1/pass1 /share1 /mountpt1 There was an error connecting the share or the server. Make sure the lsdev command shows that device nsmb0 is in the Available state.  Also make sure that the share name, user name and password are accurate.

Response is so instant that it's clearly not a network issue (while network admin was configuring access I saw significant timeouts while network access was closed).
Windows XP share works on the same machine.
Tried these AIX levels:
AIX 6100-02-04
AIX 6100-06-03
So I consider AIX level is not an issue either?

Where is the catch?
Any ideas?

thanks

Mounting without pass gives some clues where things go wrong:

mount -v cifs -n 10.2.0.50/user1 /share1 /mountpt1 Password: There was an error connecting the share or the server. Make sure the lsdev command shows that device nsmb0 is in the Available state.  Also make sure that the share name, user name and password are accurate.

Supplying right pass do not help - anyway password prompt shows that windows machine responds?

Hi,

Looks like my problems are connected to cifs levels.

Could anybody who managed to mount Windows Server 2008/Windows7 share on AIX 6.1 post your cifs levels and AIX 6.1 TL and SP levels ?

thanks

Hello,

Maybe it's related to network share encryption, that is in win2k8 and win7.
Did you try to switch it off on the server, and try to mount the share after that?

Just an idea...
