Hadrian Barron

And when there's not a user mapping, then we will go and default to that guest user, that default Windows or default Unix user.

And then after that, we leverage the implicit name mapping.

So if you have an AD account that is, say, Hadrian, then I'm going to go and look up an LDAP for the same Unix UID.

So the key thing is to know that mixed mode and kind of the oddball multi-protocol setups are 99% time not needed.

Most customers can be fine just choosing one target

ackle right whether it's ntfs or mode bits with unix and then main mapping from there this is all your area of expertise i don't know i don't know any of this stuff well i'm sitting here quietly what is this multi-protocol mixed mode stuff the niffs yeah the niffs yeah so we help customers um

You know understand that that key point right that just because it's mixed on the source doesn't mean that it needs to be mixed on the target.

So really, at the end of the day, it most customers just want to get at their data right they don't necessarily you know, like an end user that's sitting.

And HR is not thinking like, you know what, it'd be great if this one file had both Munich's permissions and NTFS permissions because that makes life really easy for the administrator and for me too.

Oh, Gladys and HR?

Yeah.

No one kind of starts their day thinking like that, and yet these environments kind of end up like this when they're on EMC.

And so really that's the key message is to say, you know what, as long as they can get the data, they can edit it, they can delete what they need to delete if they're allowed, then that is step one.

So in certain situations where, say, I have an ice salon and I have one chair,

and I want to move that to one share on the target onto NetApp, then some of it will be UNIX permissions, some of it will be SIFS permissions.

So what we do is we'll do one of those file scans, right, with XCP scan or storage, you know, data dynamic storage X has another file insight tool, which is great for this.

and go and look at, you know, what is all the data in here?

Which ones of it needs to be in TFS?

And then we'll migrate those specifically.

So usually the migration tool that you choose is going to lay down the permissions based on the OS it's running.
