  • ONTAP 9
  • Active Directory(AD)

Answer

No, upgrading the AD server from Windows 2012 to 2016 doesn't affect ONTAP.

  • ONTAP compatibility depends on ONTAP version, protocol used (NFS/CIFS), and client OS version.
  • AD functional level itself is not a direct impact factor.
  • Changing the AD server or its functional level is unlikely to have a direct impact to ONTAP.
