Add more configuration in "alfresco-global.properties" with the following configuration:

#
# CIFS Support
#————————
cifs.enabled=true
cifs.serverName=dms –> dns alias name
cifs.ipv6.enabled=false
cifs.tcpipSMB.port=1445
cifs.netBIOSSMB.namePort=1137
cifs.netBIOSSMB.datagramPort=1138
cifs.netBIOSSMB.sessionPort=1139

after that, update the firewall for forward port to Alfresco CIFS with following command:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp –dport 445 -j REDIRECT –to-ports 1445
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp –dport 139 -j REDIRECT –to-ports 1139
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -m udp –dport 137 -j REDIRECT –to-ports 1137
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -m udp –dport 138 -j REDIRECT –to-ports 1138

so, restart your alfresco server and I hope you can access the CIFS with
- \\dms\alfresco –> If you added the dms on your dns server
or - \\<alfresco server ip address>\alfresco

you can use your administration account to log in it.

Note: If you cannot access CIFS with \\dms\alfresco or \\<alfresco server ip address>\alfresco, just try access to \\dms or \\<alfresco server ip address> fisrt and log in on it and then double on the alfresco folder.

Sorry for my English and hope it useful for you.

Trying out CIFS to backup or retrieve ur files is over kill, more than that the all the folders which u copy will be having two exe files which u wont need
My suggestion is to try addons for "Compress and Download". It works well
It worked fine for me
You can get the information from
