This may affect the read/write performance during SMB file transfer. • SMB signing allows SMB communications to be digitally signed at the packet level.

Check the following before installing Synology Directory Server on your Synology NAS: • The network connection of Synology NAS is working properly. • The volume status of your Synology NAS in Storage Manager > Storage is Healthy. • The DSM is updated to version 7.1 or above. • You are the DSM administrator (i.e., the user belonging to the administrators group) of the Synology NAS. • The Synology NAS is using a static IP address: Set up a static IP address on your local area network for the Synology NAS serving as the DC.
