I finally resolved my problem, for those who are interested :

I've tried to access to my server from my pc client by \\MyServerA\Alfresco …

When I launch a cmd with nbtstat -a MyAlfrescoServer, it puts my Alfresco server into Netbios cache (on my pc client) and finally … it works but it's a bad solution.

So, I've declared (within my network card configuration on my Alfresco server) a WINS address (a wins server located on my 1st domain, authentification domain too) and it works without any cheats on my pc client.

To summarize, I made it works with :

1) In alfresco-global.properties :

…
#————————————–
# CIFS SERVER
#————————————–
cifs.enabled=true
cifs.serverName=${localname}a
cifs.localname=${localname}a
cifs.domain=FullDNSofMyAlfrescoServer (example alfresco.org)
cifs.hostannounce=true
cifs.broadcast=255.255.255.255
cifs.bindto=MyServerAlfrescoIP
cifs.urlfile.prefix=http://${localname}/alfresco/‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

2) Network card
Add my IP WINS server to resolve Netbios names when I use the alias server name for CIFS.

Finally, my alfresco configuration was correct !

3) If you change the name of Alfresco CIFS server like :

cifs.serverName=aMoreSignificantServerName
cifs.localname=aMoreSignificantServerName‍‍

You'll have probably to make these changes, within Windows regedit :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters]
Add value : DisableStrictNameChecking
Data type : REG_DWORD
Base : Décimale
Value : 1

4) Don't forget to apply settings described here (to tell Windows to not use port 445 anymore) : http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/File_Server_Configuration#Troubleshooting
