Active Directory
IMPORTANT:
Before adding the StoreEasy system nodes to Active Directory domain, ensure that there is a network
connectivity between each node and domain controller.
The HPE StoreEasy 1X60 Storage requires minimum 2 IP addresses. These addresses can be statically
assigned or can be assigned by a DHCP server. If you are using static addressing, ensure that both forward
and reverse DNS information (A and PTR records) is pre-staged in the DNS server.
Use the following table to document the network information before preceeding with system setup.

Local users and groups
The local users are the Windows user accounts created on StoreEasy system. The default account
administrator is given privilege to access StoreEasy management Console by default.
User and group information and permissions determine whether a user can access files. If HPE StoreEasy
Storage system deployed into a work group environment, the user and group information is stored locally on
the device. By contrast, if HPE StoreEasy 1X60 Storage is deployed into a domain environment, user and
group information is stored on the domain.
