We just recently purchase a terastation III storage device. I am tyring to enable the authentication method thru Active Directory Method but somehow when i am clicking the domain users, it does not load or populate my existing domain user accounts. I have tried inputting different names on the fields when setting up the AD Methond but no luck.
I hope someone will give me assistance on this.
The name of my terastation is buffalo
Company's Domain name = discount.com
Domain controller name = adserver2003
Configuring a TeraStation for Active Directory:
- A computer account with the name of the Terastation needs to be created on the domain. It needs to be configured so that a pre-2000 machine can use this account. Also, the Domain Controller needs "NetBIOS over TCP/IP" set to "enabled".
- In "IP Address Properties" under "Network", the DNS server address needs to be set to the Domain Controller's address.
- The clock on the TeraStation needs to be set to the same timezone as the Domain Controller and the times need to be with in 5 minutes of each other.
- The "Workgroup/Domain" page under "Network" needs to be set to the following settings - If ever a field is too short to enter the full information (particularly the Domain Name and the Domain Controller fields) they need to be filled in as much as possible:
Workgroup and Domain Properties:
- Network Type: "Domain"
- Workgroup Name: N/A (greyed out)
- Domain Name: Name of the user's Domain
- Domain Controller Name: Name of the server that controls the Domain
- WINS Server IP Address: The IP of whatever is running the WINS server (If not running WINS, use the IP of the Domain Controller)
- Active Directory: "Domain"
- AD Full Domain: The full name of the Domain, typically "domainname.local"
- AD Full Domain Controller: The Domain Controller "dot" the full domain from the previous line so "domaincontroller.domainname.local"
- AD Administrator Name & AD Administrator Password: The user name and password of an account with administration privileges so the Tera can properly be added to the network. This information will not be stored.
