NS0-162 Exam - Question 21


You attempt to create an SVM for CIFS access only.

In this scenario, which three actions must be performed to join the existing Active Directory? (Choose three.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: ACD

To join an SVM for CIFS access to an existing Active Directory, three key actions are required. First, you must create DNS entries to ensure proper name resolution for the CIFS server. Second, a data LIF (Logical Interface) is necessary to handle the network traffic for the SVM. Third, you need to create NTP entries to synchronize the time between the cluster and the Active Directory domain controller, as Kerberos authentication relies on time synchronization. Export policies are specific to NFS and are not required for CIFS, thus not necessary for this scenario.

The keyword in this question is "must". You do NOT have to create an export policy to join a CIFS SVM to an Active Directory domain but you MUST ensure the cluster is within 5 minutes of the time on the domain controller to ensure Kerberos authentication therefore the answer is: A, C, D

export policies are not mandatory. question says 'must' so ACD

I think the correct answer = ACD, The following NetApp Doc does not mention Export Policies plus export policies only apply to NFS. https://docs.netapp.com/ontap-9/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.netapp.doc.onc-sm-help-900%2FGUID-02342934-F1AA-4765-AF6D-4747294E5383.html

An export policy is irrelevant when joining an SVM to Active Directory.

ACD Active Directory uses NTP SVM needs a Data LIF on the NetApp DNS settings require an A record or CNAME record for the SVM's IP or ani alias to be able to map SMB / CIFS shares in Windows

A, C, D Before creating an SMB server in an Active Domain controller, you must ensure that the cluster time and the time on the domain controllers of the domain to which the SMB server will belong matches to within five minutes. https://docs.netapp.com/ontap-9/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.netapp.doc.pow-cifs-cg%2FGUID-5AE3CADE-5EF1-403B-A664-2DEA9F13B0C8.html

A,C,D my mistake You can enable or disable export policies for SMB access on storage virtual machines (SVMs). Using export policies to control SMB access to resources is optional.

Technically only C is correct. You don't NEED dns entries (you could just browse via IP), and you don't NEED ntp settings (you could just set time manually). Both are recommended though, of course. So they probably want you to select ACD. They should really change the word MUST to SHOULD in the question.
