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) (page 85). IMPORTANT: AD Domain Support: StoreOnce products support configuration in a multi-domain tree forest but does not support multi forest domain topologies.

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.) 5. Provide credentials (username and password) of a domain user who has permission to add computers to the domain and select Register. 6. After a short delay the computer will become a member of the domain. 7. After joining the domain, the DNS server should be automatically updated (if a DHCP server is used) with Forward and Reverse Lookup zone entries, however, some DNS configurations do not allow this. In this case, or if a DHCP is not used on the network, the user must also configure the domain's DNS server to be able to correctly manage the D2D shares, as described below. To configure entries manually if the DNS server does not update automatically From a Windows client server that has domain and DNS management tools installed launch the DNS Management Tool. (From the command line type dnsmgmt.msc or launch DNS from the Administrative Tools menu). Create a new Host(A) record in the forward lookup zone for the domain to which the D2D Backup System belongs with the hostname and IP address of the D2D Backup System.
