I don't see any way that it could be used for NetApp NAS because in that case there is no Windows Server involved, but if there somehow is a way I would be interested as well.
We started moving all of our Windows file sharing to CIFS on NAS devices several years ago. It's great in that it means about 50 less Windows Servers for us to manage, but the tradeoff is that we're missing a lot of the functionality available on Windows file servers.

It just looks like any other drive, so Windows doesn't care.

This customer has 90 users with over 10GB worth of crap on their home folder which resides either on a NetApp NAS or EMC SAN. They want to prevent users from saving audio and video type files along with other file types along with setting quotas on the home folders. Thanks Webster
