Thanks for your help -- I'm so close! Now, while in MMC connected to the unix server, if I right click on the share that I created in unix, and go to properties -> 'Share Permissions,' I get an error when trying to apply changes. The error is "Changes cannot be saved. The storage control blocks

There should be plenty of references about how to use Microsoft tools. The blog entry is intended to announce that MMC works with CIFS server on Solaris. We are not really in the business of documenting how to use Microsoft tools as the assumption is that it should work the same against a Solaris
