Configuring CIFS for the AD domain mode

To set the domain user for AD domain mode

To verify that the CIFS server is stopped, enter the following:
```
CIFS> server status
```
If the server is running, stop the server. Enter the following:
```
CIFS> server stop
```
To set the domain user, enter the following:
```
CIFS> set domainuser username
```
where username is the name of an existing AD domain user who has permission to perform the join domain operation.
For example:
```
CIFS> set domainuser administrator
```

To set the domain for AD domain mode

To set the domain for AD domain mode, enter the following:
```
CIFS> set domain domainname
```
where domainname is the name of the domain.
For example:
```
CIFS> set domain VERITASDOMAIN.COM
```

To set the domain controller for AD domain mode

To set the domain controller, enter the following:
```
CIFS> set domaincontroller servername
```
where servername is the server's IP address or DNS name.

To set security to ads

To set security to ads, enter the following:
```
CIFS> set security ads|user
```
Enter ads for security.
```
CIFS> set security ads
```

To set the workgroup

To set the workgroup name if the WORKGROUP or NetBIOS domain name is different from the domain name, enter the following:
```
CIFS> set workgroup workgroup
```
where workgroup sets the WORKGROUP name. If the name of the WORKGROUP or NetBIOS domain name is different from the domain name, use this command to set the WORKGROUP name.
For example, if SIMPLE is the name of the WORKGROUP you want to set, you would enter the following:
```
CIFS> set workgroup SIMPLE
```
Though the following symbols $,( ), ', and & are valid characters for naming a WORKGROUP, the Veritas Access CIFS implementation does not allow using these symbols.

To start the CIFS server

To start the CIFS server, enter the following:
```
CIFS> server start
```
After you enter the correct password for the user administrator belonging to AD domain, you get a message saying that the CIFS server has started successfully.
To make sure that the service is running, enter the following:
```
CIFS> server status
```
The CIFS server is now running in the AD domain mode. You can export the shares, and the domain users can access the shares subject to the AD authentication and authorization control.
