cifs anyone?
- jiggawatts 4y agoYou're mixing up your products. Azure Active Directory has almost nothing in common with Active Directory, other than the name. Amongst other things, it uses HTTPS almost exclusively. CIFS is an older protocol that Linux admins use incorrectly to refer to SMB, which is the file sharing protocol used by Windows.
- wokkel 4y agoMS called SMB 1.0 CIFS. <https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-2000-server/cc939973(v=technet.10) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/...> . So it seems windows admins are using the old monikker.
