Adding the Appliance to a Domain
There are two ways to add the appliance to a domain:
Complete the fields on the Microsoft Networking Settings page . Set the appliance name and then, at a
minimum, select the box for "Create account in the NT Domain for this device" and complete "Domain
Administrator Name" and "Domain Administrator Password".
OR
●
Create a machine account on the domain controller using Server Manager. A machine account must be
created before the appliance can join the specified domain.
Note: This method must be used if a WINS Server was not specified on the Microsoft Networking
Settings page.
Log on to the NT server as an NT administrator. 1.
Add the appliance to the domain using the Server Manager. 2.
Log on to the appliance as Appliance Administrator using the appliance's web interface. (The
default is "admin" for the username and "admin" for the password.) 3.
Set the NT domain name on the Microsoft Networking Settings page by completing the
"Windows NT or Workgroup" field.
4.
●
Enabling and Disabling Microsoft NT Domain Security
The administrator can, at any time, turn on or off NT domain security. If NT domain security is on and the
appliance cannot communicate with the domain controller over the network, users will not be able to print using
the appliance. The administrator can turn off NT domain security, which would enable users to continue
printing although no security will be enforced. To disable NT domain security, access the
Microsoft
Networking Settings page , and make sure the box for " Enable NT Domain Authentication " is not checked.
With NT Domain authentication disabled, local administrator accounts must be used to manage the appliance
and access the web interface because all domain administrator accounts will be disabled by this action as well.
Granting Printer Access or Authority to Users and Groups
On the Printer Properties - Security page , assign domain users and/or groups appropriate access for that printer.
The NT Users/Groups list box contains all of the group or user names within the selected NT domain. Select
from this list to grant access to the printer and click . After the group has been granted access, its
name will be moved from the NT Users/Groups list box to the Current Assignments list box.
By default, every user on the appliance has print access to any newly created printer.
Administrator Accounts for the Appliance
There are two types of administrator accounts on the appliance:
Local Administrator Accounts - usernames and passwords are stored on the appliance and are not
synchronized with any NT domain accounts.
●
Domain Administrator Accounts - usernames and passwords are synchronized with NT domain
