Active Directory
Active Directory® is a Microsoft directory used in Windows environments to centrally store, share,
and manage the information and resources on your network. It is a hierarchical data center which
centrally holds the information of the users, user groups, and the computers for secure access
management.
By joining the G-RACK 12 to the Active Directory, all the user accounts of the Active Directory server
will be imported to the G-RACK 12 automatically.
This will allow the administrator to configure the access rights (read only, read/write, or deny access)
to the network shared workspaces.
NOTE:
In order to join the domain you must have an administrator account for this domain.
