The Date and Time page is displayed, and an Enabled NTP service dialog is displayed when successful (and this was your selected mode). Creating Containers After initialization, the DR Series system contains a single default container named backup. Containers function like a shared file system, which can be assigned a connection type of None (to be defined later), NFS/CIFS, or OST (OpenStorage Technology). Containers can then be accessed using NFS, CIFS, or OST. If needed, you can also create additional system containers for storing your data. For more information about creating a storage container or specific connection type containers, see Creating Storage Containers, Creating an NSF or CIFS Connection Type Container, or Creating an OST Connection Type Container. Configuring Share-Level Security The DR Series system supports setting up share-level permissions for CIFS shares using the standard Microsoft Windows administrative tool, Computer Management. Computer Management is a component that is built into the Microsoft System 7, Vista, and XP operating systems. NOTE: Any user that is part of BUILTIN\Administrators can edit ACLs on CIFS shares. The local DR Series system administrator is included in the BUILTIN\Administrators group. To add additional domain groups to the BUILTIN \Administrators group, you can use the Computer Manager tool on a Windows client to connect to the DR Series system as Domain administrator and add any groups you want. This capability allows users other than the Domain administrator to modify an ACL as needed. This administrative tool lets you control access to shares and also configure read-only or read-write access to user groups or individual users within the Active Directory Service (ADS) when joined to an ADS domain. To implement share-level security on a DR Series system that has been joined to an ADS domain, make sure that you have mapped a drive on the DR Series system using an account with DOMAIN\Administrator credentials (or by using an account that is equivalent to a domain administrator). For more information about joining to an ADS domain, see Configuring Active Directory Settings. NOTE: If you do not use an account with sufficient privileges, you will not be able to see the shares or you may experience other problems. 1.

Configuring Share-Level Security
The DR Series system supports setting up share-level permissions for CIFS shares using the standard Microsoft
Windows administrative tool, Computer Management. Computer Management is a component that is built into the
Microsoft System 7, Vista, and XP operating systems.
NOTE:
Any user that is part of BUILTIN\Administrators can edit ACLs on CIFS shares. The local DR Series system
administrator is included in the BUILTIN\Administrators group. To add additional domain groups to the BUILTIN
\Administrators group, you can use the Computer Manager tool on a Windows client to connect to the DR Series
system as Domain administrator and add any groups you want. This capability allows users other than the Domain
administrator to modify an ACL as needed.
This administrative tool lets you control access to shares and also configure read-only or read-write access to user
groups or individual users within the Active Directory Service (ADS) when joined to an ADS domain.
To implement share-level security on a DR Series system that has been joined to an ADS domain, make sure that you
have mapped a drive on the DR Series system using an account with DOMAIN\Administrator credentials (or by using an
account that is equivalent to a domain administrator). For more information about joining to an ADS domain, see
Configuring Active Directory Settings.
NOTE:
If you do not use an account with sufficient privileges, you will not be able to see the shares or you may
experience other problems.
