Notes:
• To have the TeraStation 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 to a user, the user will have read-only access. The most
restrictive access setting will apply.
• If there is a difference of more than 5 minutes between the TeraStation’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 TeraStation as a member server in an Active Directory domain, the TeraStation 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 TeraStation is a member server of an Active Directory domain, you cannot connect as a guest user via AFP.
• If your TeraStation 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.
• If FTP is enabled, local and domain group access restrictions from the AD network do not work. Use user access
restrictions instead.
• Don’t disable the SMB protocol while Active Directory is used for access restrictions. If you do, you will need to
enable SMB again and reconfigure AD from scratch.
