Before creating a CIFS server that will participate in a Windows Domain, what EMC best practice should you follow?

A.
Populating DNS with the new host entries

B.
Configuring NTP synchronization with a KDC

C.
Performing a health check on the VNX system

D.
Creating placeholder entries in the Active Directory

Explanation:

There are some preparation steps needed for CIFS. Windows Active Directory uses Kerberos authentication and it is time-sensitive. It is a best practice to configure the Data Mover to acquire its time from a server on the network using the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to ensure it is in time synchronization with the Key Distribution Center (KDC).
