Synchronizing the storage system and Active Directory server By default, the storage system obtains information about users and groups from the Active Directory server every 30 minutes. You can modify this setting as described in "Modifying the Active Directory properties" on page 140. If you add a new user or group to the Active Directory server and don't want to wait until the next synchronization before assigning that user or group to a shared folder, you can synchronize the storage system and Active Directory server immediately. You should also do this if a user's password changed on the Active Directory server and the user can no longer access shared folders on the storage system. To synchronize the storage system and Active Directory server: 1 In the navigation bar, click Users. 2 In the left pane, click either Users & Computers or Groups. 3 Click Synchronize. The synchronization progress displays. Notes: • Your storage system supports 256 users and 256 groups. If the selected organizational unit on your Active Directory server currently exceeds these maximums, the excess users or groups will not be added to the storage system.
