Buffalo TS5600D2406 [29/176] Nt domain

Notes:

• To have the TeraStation join an Active Directory domain, configure it to use a DNS server that can resolve

names for the Active Directory domain.

• After building an Active Directory domain, the administrator password for joining the domain must be

changed at least once, or joining the Active Directory domain will fail.

• The DNS name and NetBIOS name of Active Directory domains should be identical.

• If both read-only and read & write permissions are given, the user will have read-only access. The most

restrictive access setting will apply.

• If there are more than 5 minutes difference between the TeraStation's clock and the domain controller's clock,

joining the domain or authenticating domain users and groups may fail. For best results, use an NTP server to

set the time for all network devices.

• The TeraStation supports a domain environment with a maximum of 1000 users and 1000 groups. 10,000

users and 10,000 groups can be downloaded from the domain controller but are not supported.

• To use the TeraStation as a member server in an Active Directory domain, the TeraStation should be logged

in to the domain and accessed from a computer that is not a member of the domain with a valid domain

account.

• If the TeraStation is a member server of an Active Directory domain, you cannot connect as a guest user via

AFP.

• If your TeraStation is a member server in an Active Directory domain and you change the authentication

method to "Workgroup", the account on the domain controller will not be deleted automatically.

• If FTP is enabled, local and domain group access restrictions from the AD network do not work. Use user

access restrictions instead.

• Don't disable the SMB protocol while Active Directory is used for access restrictions. If you do, you will need

to enable SMB again and reconfigure AD from scratch.

NT Domain

In an NT domain environment, the TeraStation uses account information from the NT domain server to set access

restrictions for files and folders on the TeraStation. There's no need to perform individual account management for

the TeraStation. If multiple TeraStations are installed on the network, the account information is centrally managed

in the NT domain, greatly reducing the operations required for installation and management.

Note: A maximum of 1000 domain users and 1000 groups can be downloaded from an NT domain server.

1 Create an account on the domain controller for the TeraStation.

2 In Settings, click Network.

3 Click to the right of "Workgroup/Domain".
