• The Data Collector must be running a Windows operating system that is at least Windows server 2003. This Data Collector can collect both Linux and Windows shares.

• The Windows LAN Manager authentication level, in the local security policy security options, must be modified to: Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated. This allows the Data Collector to invoke the net use command with the password supplied on the command line. Without this setting, later versions of Windows will terminate with a system error 86 (invalid password).

• Windows CIFS Shares collection requires the Windows Domain User ID. This User ID must have Administrative privileges.

• Linux CIFS Shares collection requires super-user root privileges. Access control commands, such as sudo, sesudo, and pbrun are also supported. If using any of the access control commands, verify that the User ID has sudo, sesudo, or pbrun privileges.

• Collection of owner data for Windows and CIFS is configurable via Advanced Parameters. Data collection completes faster when owner data is not collected (the default). Although not recommended, you can configure an Advanced Parameter, FA_RESOLVE_OWNERS set to Y, to enable owner collection. To access Advanced Parameters in the Portal, select Admin > Advanced > Parameters.
