To inform users about how to access the filer, perform the following steps:
1. Determine the connection methods that are correct for your CIFS clients.
2. If your CIFS clients can use methods 1, 3, and 4 to connect to the filer, inform
your users of the filers UNC path.
The UNC path consists of a computer name and a share name in the following
format:
??FRPSXWHUBQDPH?VKDUHBQDPH
If the filer is named filer and the directory that contains users directories is
shared with the name "home," the UNC path is
\\filer\home
.
3. If your CIFS clients can use method 2 to connect to the filer, inform your users of
the filer name so that they can locate the filer in Network Neighborhood.
