  • ONTAP 9
  • SBM
  • Active Directory (AD) Password

Answer

No, changing the AD server password does not affect existing CIFS access. 
  • During the initial CIFS setup, a Domain Admin account is required. 
  • Once the CIFS setup is complete, CIFS access uses the machine account, not the Domain Admin account.
