We have just bought a Terastation III (TSX40TLR5) and we seem to be having trouble connecting it to active directory.
The time is correct.
It is on the same switch and Vlan and our AD server
Our AD server is our DNS server
The terastation is on the same subnet and it's DNS ip is the AD server.
Our active directory/dns is running on a 2003 R2 server.
I am using a user that has domain admin rights.
So we enter the info.
Our "pre windows 2000" name (netbios name) is VALDEZCC (we have migrated it from one of our older servers so the naming convetions is a bit off (does that matter though?))
Our Active Directory Domain name is valdez.cc
Our domain contriolers name is VCS-HS-DC (thats our main one and then we got 2 replications of it in our diffrent buildings...its the only one on this subnet)
I enter in the info for a user that has doman admin rights.
Then I set the WINS server ip to 10.0.10.10 ((that's the ip of VCS-HS-DC) I have tried it with and without this (reseting the buffalo to factory defaults each time before doing it) I dont think we have a WINS server)
however, after pressing "save" and waiting for the saving data.....
it still shows im in the old workgroup and there is no info in the users/groups area
(ps i do not get any errors. it is not untill i look at the sys log do i see something)

the strange thing is that it adds a computer object to my active directory named HS-file-server. so it fails to join the domain but still adds the computer? and i get no error on screen and no expanation in the system log?
now if i change the netbios name on the buffalo to something more normal VALDEZ (even though the AD server says its valdezcc)
it connects but i do not get any users... or even a tab in the users/groups for it... am i doing something wronge here?

however, it still dose not work.
the only way it has wored is with the workgroup and the "Delegate Authority to External SMB Server" + "Use Windows Domain Controller as Authentication Server" + "Automatic User Registration" marked. however, i do not want to have to log on the 600+ students (less then 1000)

please any help on how or why i am not getting a list or tab in groups/users of my users would be great (i have left it with the VALDEZ as the netbios name for over 12 hours (hopping it was updating or something) and it did nothing)
just for a test i used VAL for my netbios name (we have never used val for any thing on our network) and it succesfully joined the domain...
