We bought a 4TB Terastation PRO and joined it to our Active Directory network. We can share folders without any problem. What we can not do is to set the security settings for the Active Directory users and groups. Every time we do that we got the error message that the Terastation is not joined to the AD.
We got information from Buffalo technician that and some guidelines, but still get the same error and now also an error "Unable to display the user dialog box".
We are using only the administrator of the AD to work on the systems.
Hope to get a solution for this
Terrastation Model TS-H0-0TGL/R5
FIRMWARE : 1.26
SIZE 4 TB
I would set it back to factory defaults with in the web interface, then reconfigure it for AD.
A computer account needs to be setup on the Domain with the name of the Buffalo NAS and set to pre-Win2000 machine. (note: on a 2003 Domain the TS needs to be set as a client machine and not a server)

Hi PAUL,
I have done what you have send and prior to that I have upgrade the Firmware from 1.26 to 1.27.
With that I can now see the active directory groups. But still I cannot use the Active Directory groups for the security. I can select the AD group, but when I click on apply, it will disappear. SO I still can not use the AD security.
The step I follow was, create a computer in the domain with the same name as the Terastation, than joined the computer to the Domain and than create the shares. But get the error mention above.
Hope you can help me for a solution for this one.
Best Regards
Erwin
This error I get when I'm on the share folder in AD. I think that the problem is that I don't know which users has full access and has the rights to add groups.
Regards
Erwin
And how can I access the AD users group or users in the Buffalo GUI?
Regards
Erwin
Login to the web interface,
Click on Share folder set up
Click on the share folder name
Enable access restrictions
you will see 3 categories read/write read and no access
Move the user or group into the right "Box" and hit apply at the bottom
That's mine problem, I have done that, but can only see the local users and not the AD users and groups. The only group that the system see from AD is the Administrators Domain Group. It work fine with the local users, have test it already and it works. We would like to have also the AD groups and users. Reason for this is that we have several Linux and Windows servers and all authenticate with the AD through a login script file.
Is there a settings that I might be missing?
Erwin
After that I have joined to the domain, I will get, selecting the user management, "Cannot obtain" under the Domain User List. Are there some settings in the AD that I have to take into account.
Regards
I have reset the system to the default settings and make all the changes accoording your recommendation and still get this information in the group management:
Hi Paul,
I have take a look to one of mine clients and they have an older firmware version 1.10. That one work perfect and without any problem. The one we just got have a newer firmware but doesnot work. One of the difference I saw with the old one, is that they use the same password for ADMIN and ADMINISTRATOR. I tried to do that here also, but can not do it becuase the system has a complex password and the terastation does not accept it. I still get the same error that it can not obtain the user list.
Any suggestion ????
I tried to download the older firmware from the site , but get this error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 20971520 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9576 bytes) in /home/sites/site13/web/support_getdownloadsfile.php on line 32
And it seems to be on buffalo site.

HI Paul,
I have made a lot of test and get to see the group and user account for a while, but still cannot use them. First I have make an admin user with the same password as the Terastation Pro and rejoined the terastation. IT works fine until I make a share and add mine username. I tried to map it on mine computer and it ask me for a username and password. So when i get back in the terastation I noticed that I don't have access anymore to the Domain users and groups and understand the reason asking for a password. What I noticed also is that the time is not correct and is one hour ahead compared to our local time. I tried to use the NTP settings but there is a 1 hour time difference and I think this is due to the light savings time. I have tried to use the local time, but that gave also the difference of one hour and even if I change it, it will reset back with the 1 hour difference.
Any idea what might be the problem to gather the domain user and groups?
regards
Erwin Ras
I would set it for local time then hit apply, then change the gmt; hit apply.
Then set the time and hit apply.
this should solve the time issue. I am working on the site so you can get the older firmware.
Hi Paul, I have just make another account becuase I cannot login with mine original account.
I still get the same problem and now I cannot see the user and groups anymore.
What I have noticed that the firmware that one of the clients use is not on the list anymore.
ANy advice so we can get a solution for this.
regards
Erwin
HI Paul,
I have change the time as you mentioned, but still get the same problem and the time that I have the correct time i get this error:
Please adjust the system clock to synchronize with the Domain Controller clock.
Regards
Erwin
HI Paul,
I have enable the time server, but even so it change to 1 hour ahead. It seems to see the daylight savings and I understand that there is a 5 minutes difference. Can you manage so I can get acces to the older firmware that is working at one of mine client.
I have done everything and still get the same error that it doesnot see the AD users and groups. Is there anyway that we can get access to the console, via putty so we can update the kerberos and PAM.
Regards
Erwin
HI Paul,
I have done it again this morning and noticed that after the reset, the time are the same. But as soon that I joined to the AD I will get this error again:
Please adjust the system clock to synchronize with the Domain Controller clock.
