Solution ID: ntapcs7632
Title: Does NetApp officially support Samba as a supported protocol? NetApp
filer

Problem Description:
Does NetApp officially support Samba as a supported protocol?

Fix:
NetApp currently supports CIFS clients, including all flavors of Windows,
DAVE from Thursby, the new client in Apple's version 10 OS, and others,
including Samba.

Note that if a CIFS transaction between the filer and a non-Windows host
fails, while the same transaction is successful between a Windows host,
suspicion should be drawn first to the client, rather than the filer. This
is because our NetApp's first priority is to be compatible with Windows
host.

I hope this helps.

Eyal Traitel from NetApp pointed me that mentioned KB article concerned only
Samba as client, not PDC...
