CIFS not starting issue

[dantella]

Hello,

I havent come across this issue during my searches. Running community 2.1 on a Win2k3 virtual machine joined to a domain. I finally got NTLM passthru working and i thought CIFS setup. I also got the LDAP sync working for my domain.

I've copied the win32netbios.dll to a valid path, SYSTEM32. I can startup Alfresco, and get no errors, I can login through the webclient, and all my users are imported just fine.

FTP works fine with NTLM auth, and its using a SQL Server 2005 backend….

the CIFS server doesnt seem to be starting, and I'm not getting any errors at all. nbtstat -n doesnt show the _A server name being presented.

Any Ideas?
Thanks,
David

File-Servers.xml is like this:
