Configure the Active Directory Service
The Active Directory service in the BlackPearl user interface is used to connect the system to
a Windows Active Directory domain. Before you can join a domain, you must configure the
BlackPearl system to use NTP. See
Configure Date and Time on page 181
Note:
If the BlackPearl system time and the Active Directory domain time are more than
5 minutes apart, joining the domain fails.
