How To Change CIFS Name

[raysefo]

Hi,

I m new to Alfresco and i wonder how can i change CIFS name? (We have installed Alfresco 3.2r)

Have a look into the following 2 file:
tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/subsystems/fileServers/default/file-servers-context.xml
tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/file-servers.xml

In file-servers.xml:
search for "<property name="serverComment and edit the value

In file-servers-context.xml
search for "<host name=" and edit the "comment" value

Update:
Sorry forgot the file-servers.properties file in the same directory
If you change the filesystem.name property from "Alfresco" to "yourName" access / mapping will after restart of the server be \\servernameA\yourName\

For further customization / configuration see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/File_Server_Subsystem

The above would not work on 3.2.

Just use the following properties in alfresco-global.properties to control the CIFS server name and/or the mount name.

cifs.serverName=YourNetBIOSName
filesystem.name=YourMountName

See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/File_Server_Subsystem

Well - we're currently working on 3.2r2 and it does work.

We nevertheless had also put the 2 lines into the alfresco-global.properties file at the same time.

Well the next time you upgrade any changes in WEB-INF will be overwritten.     Which is why the advice is never to touch the contents of WEB-INF.
