Setting ACLs Or SLPs On A CIFS Share The first time a CIFS share is created, the owner of the share must be changed before setting any ACLs or attempting to access this share. If the NAS cluster solution is joined to an Active Directory domain, the following methods can be used for setting ACLs: • Using an Active Directory domain account that has its primary group set as the Domain Admins group. • Mapping a network drive to the CIFS share where ACLs are intended to be set.

Remap the network drive using an account that is a part of the domain administrators user group that ownership was set to previously.
