4.Enter the ADS Container. This specifies the ADS container in which the shares are published. The shares are published in ADS only if you configure ADS for the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS in the Set Up ADS panel.
Enter the path using the share’s cn (common name) folder or ou (organizational unit). The cn folders are default folders in the root folder. All other folders are ou folders. For example, if the share resides in a “shares” organizational folder within an organizational parent folder called “home,” you type:
ou=shares, ou=home
Note – Do not include the domain name in the path.

How to Publish Shares in ADS
Active Directory Service (ADS) is a Windows 2000 namespace integrated with the Domain Name Server (DNS). ADS runs only on domain controllers. In addition to storing and making data available, ADS also protects network objects from unauthorized access and replicates objects across a network so that data is not lost if a domain controller fails. When you enable and set up ADS, the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS automatically performs ADS updates.
In order for the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS to integrate seamlessly into a Windows 2000 Active Directory environment, the following items must exist on the network:
■A Windows 2000 server domain controller
■An Active
After setting up ADS, you can enable ADS to publish specific Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS shares in the ADS directory. To do so, create or update Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS SMB shares and specify the share container for each share you want to publish.
