Windows 2003
The AD server name and AD domain name can be checked in "System Properties" in
Windows. As an example, for Windows 2003 servers, if you see "node1.qnap-test.com"
as the "Full computer name" on the system properties dialog window, the AD server
name is "node1" and NOT "node1.qnap-test.com" and the domain name remains the
same as qnap-test.com.
Windows Server 2008
Check the AD server name and domain name in "Control Panel" > "System" in Windows.
In the system dialog window, the AD server name will appear as the computer name
and the domain name can be found in the domain field.
Note :
After joining the NAS to the Active Directory, the local NAS users who have
access rights to the AD server should use "NASname\username" to login. AD
users should use their own usernames to login to the AD server.
For TS-x09 series NAS, if the AD domain is based on Windows 2008 Server, the
NAS firmware must be at least version 2.1.2.
Windows 7
If you are using a Windows 7 PC that is not a member of an Active Directory, while
your NAS is an AD domain member and its firmware version is earlier than v3.2.0,
change your PC settings as shown below to allow your PC to connect to the NAS:
1. Go to "Control Panel" > "Administrative Tools".
