Item

Description

 

 

NetBIOS Domain Name

Enter the name of the NetBIOS domain, for example, company. Normally, the

 

NetBIOS domain name is identical to the prefix of the DNS realm name.

 

Note: If the NetBIOS domain name does not properly represent the

 

organizational structure or does not match the prefix naming rules, the name will

 

differ from the prefix of the DNS realm name.

 

 

DNS Realm Name

Enter the DNS realm name, which is normally the DNS domain name or the

(FQDN)

Active Directory domain name, for example, company.community.com. In this

 

example, company is the prefix, and community is the suffix of the name.

 

 

Organizational Unit

Specify the location of the computer account of the ReadyNAS in the Active

Directory. By default, the computer account for the ReadyNAS is placed in the

 

 

\users organizational unit (OU), but you can use the Organizational Unit field to

 

specify another OU. You can specify OUs by separating OU entries with

 

commas. Specify the lowest-level OU first.

 

Note: The name of the computer account (also referred to as the machine

 

account) is the same as the host name of the ReadyNAS (see Configure the

 

Hostname on page 158).

Administrator Name

Enter the name of the administrator of the Active Directory.

 

 

Administrator Password

Enter the password of the administrator of the Active Directory.

 

 

Directory Server

Enter the IP address of the Active Directory server.

Your changes are saved.

5.(Optional) Click the Refresh ADS Accounts button.

User and group information on your ReadyNAS system is updated immediately.

For more information about managing users and groups with Active Directory, see your Active Directory documentation.

Keep the following precautions in mind when using Active Directory mode:

Your Active Directory server and your ReadyNAS system must have the same time set on their system clocks. NETGEAR recommends that you choose your domain controller as your NTP server to ensure that time settings are the same.

The DNS server that you use must be able to resolve the hostname of the domain controller. NETGEAR recommends that you point your ReadyNAS to the Active Directory DNS to ensure that host names can be resolved.
