Automatic share named with active directory name user, appare when I use ADS security in RNDP4000
Hi at all,
I'm testing on a RNDP4000 ver 4.2.31 with 4 WD 3TB disks each. I was able to configure the security using Active Directory Service.

OS 6 will also share the data volume(s) to the admin - so that behavior won't change if you convert the NAS.
The volume naming convention is a bit different - OS 4 using letters (C,D,E,F) for the volume names. With OS-6, it is called data if you are using XRAID. If you are using FlexRAID you name the volume when you create it.

Correct. The admin can see and access the full C volume - that behavior cannot be changed.
However, other users won't see it.
Note that your older NAS uses SMB 1 (unencrypted, and being deprecated by Microsoft). It is possible to convert it to run OS 6 (currently 6.10.0 firmware). That would use SMB 3.
Netgear doesn't support that conversion, but many people have done it successfully. If you do want to do it, I suggest upgrading your RAM to 2 GB (Currently it is 1 GB). You'd need to do that with a single module (as your NAS only has one memory slot).
