Comment limitations for Windows XP clients
When you change a comment, the change is reflected only in certain parts of the
Windows XP interface. As the computer name in a domain window, the change is
immediately reflected to the Windows XP client. However, in Windows XP Explorer, the
names of mapped network drives do not reflect the change.
When you first map a network drive on a Windows XP client, the client stores the
comment in the local Registry and displays the comment as the name of the mapped
drive. The client continues to use the stored comment as the mapped drive name until
you manually change the Registry. If you manually change the name of the mapped
network drive from Explorer or My Computer, the changed name is stored in another
Registry entry and the client uses this name until you change it again from Explorer or in
the Registry.
EMC recommends that you set the comment as part of the initial CIFS server setup.
Change the CIFS server password
Computers that are members of a Windows Active Directory (AD) typically change the
password for their domain account on a regular basis (for example, every 12 hours or 7
days).
Configure automatic computer password changes on page 107
explains how to set the
time interval at which the Data Mover changes passwords with the domain controller.
