After viewing the Login Policy, under the Security container, it did not show any login Method of Windows Native File Access. Under the Login Method Container in the Security Container, it did not show the Windows Native File Access login method their either.

The Windows Native File Access login sequence method is missing. The easiest way to resolve this issue is with ConsoleOne.

Browse in ConsoleOne, under the Security Container, then under the Login Method, create a new "SAS:NMAS Login Method" object.

Try logging in with CIFS again and it should work.

If it still fails, verify your Tree Keys are all synchronized. KB 3092072 - Verifying and Resolving Tree Key Inconsistencies will walk you through that process.
