[OpenIndiana-discuss] DNS Alias issue for CIFS - network path not found on Win7

[Robbie Crash]

AD integration with the builtin CIFS server is dead easy. I've joined OI to
2003/2008 and 2012 native functioning domains with no issue.

What is serving DNS for you?
Are you using WINS?
Do you have NetBIOS enabled?
Are you using IPv6?
Do your XP clients face the same connection problems? What about Windows 8?
You've said you still get failures when accessing by IP, correct? On all
clients at the same time, or sporadically across clients?
What applications are you using to access the server? IE: Are you opening
things through Explorer, or are you opening things through Office?
Are you using offline files?
