Notes:

•This chapter describes the procedure to use Active Directory with Windows 2000 Server, Server 2003, and Server

2008.

•Depending on the security settings, the TeraStation may not be able to join, or may be able to join but may not be authenticated by a domain. In such a case, it is recommended to restrict access by delegating authority.

permissions on the fly from within Windows or OS X is not supported.
