Windows Users: Accessing the NSS Storage using CIFS/SMB

Windows users who have a user profile set up can access any shares to which they have privileges
on the NSS storage using CIFS/SMB.
To access the NSS storage using CIFS/SMB:
1. There are a variety of ways to access the NSS:
• From the My Computer window, type \\<hostname> or \\<IP address> in the Address bar.
(Where the <hostname> refers to your NSS hostname and <IP address> refers to your NSS IP
address. For example, \\NAS0123456789ab or \\192.168.1.2).
• Browse for the NSS from the My Network Places window.
• Map the NSS to a network drive.
The Login window appears.
2. If your user profile is set up locally (that is, through the NSS configuration interface), in the User
name field, enter the following: <NSS hostname>\<username>. If your user profile is set up
through the domain, you do not need to enter the NSS hostname before your user name. (Just
enter your user name and then your password.)
3. Click OK.
The Windows Explorer window opens with a directory listing of the shares accessible by the
user.
4. Depending on your privileges to the share, you can begin using the NSS storage.
