If this is not the case, it must be changed before attempting to join the domain. • The system time on the StoreOnce Backup System must be correct and in sync with that of the domain controller. Using the NTP mode on the StoreOnce Backup System to synchronize with a time server is a good way to ensure accurate time keeping. See "Date and Time (Administration)" on page 106.

Configuring users on AD (CIFS shares only)
Prerequisites
Domain Controller running:
Windows server 2003
Windows server 2003 R2
Windows server 2008
Windows server 2008 R2
User account on Domain Controller with authority to add computers to AD
User account on server running DNS to add entries
The StoreOnce Backup System hostname MUST contain 15 characters or less. If this is not the
case, it must be changed before attempting to join the domain.
The system time on the StoreOnce Backup System must be correct and in sync with that of the
domain controller. Using the NTP mode on the StoreOnce Backup System to synchronize with a
time server is a good way to ensure accurate time keeping. See
Date and Time (Administra-
tion)
on page 106.
IMPORTANT:
AD Domain Support:
StoreOnce products support configuration in a multi-domain tree forest but
does not support multi forest domain topologies.
Adding the StoreOnce device to an AD Domain

1.
Connect to the StoreOnce Web Management Interface and navigate to the
NAS - CIFS Server
page
2.
Select the
Edit

AD
from the drop-down menu.
NOTE:
In some configurations the Active Directory Domain Controller requires that an entry for the
server name is created before the device can be added to the domain.
3.
Provide the name of the domain that you wish to join e.g
mydomain.local
4.
Select
Update
. If the domain controller is found, a popup box will request credentials of a user
with permission to join the domain. (Note that joining or leaving the domain will result in failure
of any backup or restore operations that are currently running.)
