Domain
In Microsoft Windows NT 4 and Microsoft Active
Directory environments, a domain is a collection of
computers defined by the administrator of a network
that share a common directory database.
A domain has a unique name and provides access to
the centralized user accounts and group accounts
maintained by the domain administrator. Each
domain has its own security policies and security
relationships with other domains, and each domain
represents a single security boundary of a Windows
computer network. Active Directory is made up of one
or more domains, each of which can span more than
one physical location.
For DNS, a domain is any tree or subtree within the
DNS namespace. Although the names for DNS
domains often correspond to Active Directory
domains, DNS domains should not be confused with
Microsoft Windows and Active Directory networking
domains.
CAUTION: When setting the name and domain
membership of the DataSafe NAS and
specifying the user with permission to
join domain, you must enter the user
name as domainname\username and
the password as
domainname\password.
