You'll see the Share Point Setup screen shown in Figure F. In the Windows world, a user who browses to a server is only allowed to see the share points that have been set up by the system administrator. You can replicate this functionality on the next screen of the wizard by creating specific share points. If you'd rather just share all of your volumes, you can do so by checking the Share All Mounted Volumes box at the bottom of the window. For this example, I'm only going to share my server.

Create share points for your users.

When you click Next, you'll see the Context Setup screen shown in Figure G. To allow for a true "out-of-the-box" installation, you'll need to avoid NDS nomenclature for your users. You can do this by indicating which NDS containers the Native File Access wizard should search when a user makes a request for a CIFS mount point. Because I'm running a very small lab server, I only have the initial NDS context named Myhome. If you use NDS based on department, you can easily limit which departments are allowed to use these services by choosing them and clicking the Add button.
