  • CIFS must be licensed on the cluster.

  • A CIFS server must be configured and joined to a Windows Active Directory domain.

  • The CIFS server admin status must be on.

  • GPOs must be configured and applied to the Windows Active Directory Organizational Unit (OU) containing the CIFS server computer object.

  • GPO support must be enabled on the CIFS server.
