Notes:
• If you change the LinkStation’s name, you will no longer be able to use domain users and groups or access
restrictions. To repair this, rejoin the domain.
• To have the LinkStation join an Active Directory domain, configure it to use a DNS server that can resolve names
for the Active Directory domain.
• After building an Active Directory domain, the administrator password for joining the domain must be changed
at least once, or joining the Active Directory domain will fail.
• The DNS name and NetBIOS name of Active Directory domains should be identical.
• If both read-only and read and write permissions are given, the user will have read-only access. The most
restrictive access setting will apply.
• If there are more than five minutes difference between the LinkStation’s clock and the domain controller’s clock,
joining the domain or authenticating domain users and groups may fail. For best results, use an NTP server to set
the time for all network devices.
• To use the LinkStation as a member server in an Active Directory domain, the LinkStation should be logged in to
the domain and accessed from a computer that is not a member of the domain with a valid domain account.
• If the LinkStation is a member server of an Active Directory domain, you cannot connect as a guest user via AFP.
• If your LinkStation is a member server in an Active Directory domain and you change the authentication method
to “Workgroup”, the account on the domain controller will not be deleted automatically.
