How to Open Settings
to the right of "Workgroup/Domain".
: Read and write access allowed
: Read access allowed
: Access prohibited
Notes:
| • | If both read-only and read & write permissions are given to a user, the user will have read-only access. The most restrictive attribute will apply. |
| • | To have the LinkStation 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 domain should be identical. |
| • | If there are more than 5 minutes difference between the LinkStation'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. |
