Hey guys...have anyone had any experience with NAS boxes as DP's?
 
Make sure the primary site server has admin rights on the netapp. Create a share for example \\NAS\sms

In the sms folder create an admin$ folder. (SMS just wants to see it or it will fail) Share the sms folder to everyone.

The other way I've seen is just making a admin$ share (empty) and going from there.

the key seems to be admin$ existing
 
Umm...what is that pertaining too?
 
Well..i guess i should have put more description..lol :) I will keep that info as well. But what i am needing info on is, we are wanting to purchase some NAS boxes and set them up as DP's and need some opinions on the way to go, as far as brand, etc. Any thoughts?
Thanks
 
seems to me I set one up on a dell powervault...770 I think
 
Just remember unless you can put on IIS webdav and bits on a device it will be limited. Meaning it wont be able to use bits, but if its a protected DP just servicing a lan it should be fine.
 
Thanks! We are looking at the network harddrives to see if they are worth anything. We have several locations that we are going to put them in. So trying to stay within budget.
