Access shares in ReadyNas2100

Question

Hi All,&nbsp;I was hit by Ransomware last week and my SBS2003 file server is now&nbsp;encrypted. Connected to this I had two Netgear ReadyNas servers. The newer ReadyNas&nbsp;214 was a backup server, I have accessed it and the contents are all fine and untouched.&nbsp;The ReadyNas&nbsp;2100 contains all my files and work for the&nbsp;past decade. I can access the Admin area but not the shared drives.&nbsp;The security setting was set to Domain so shares were based on the group accounts in the domain controllers or ADS for login authentication which was held in the now disconnected SBS2003.&nbsp;Since I have now disconnected my infected File Server which had the ADS I am unable to access my ReadyNas2100.&nbsp;I have installed a new router and connected my ReadyNas directly to this, bypassing the File Server&nbsp;How do I go about accessing the RN2100 without losing access to my data or the data itself? I would ideally like to set up the same shares but without the infected fileserver (which&nbsp;I can implement&nbsp;at some point in the future when I have cash).&nbsp;I have limited IT knowledge but am reasonably good at Googling so step by step answers are appreciated.&nbsp;Many ThanksRowan

Are you using the "private" home folder feature of your NAS? &nbsp;Or is all the data in ordinary shares?

Hi StephenB,&nbsp;Many thanks for your&nbsp;question. I believe&nbsp;I am using ordinary shares and I have the following settings which may also help.&nbsp;Security Mode is set to Domain (not User) &amp;&nbsp;Domain Type is ADS&nbsp;On Shares/Share Listing, I have 3 shares setup all using CIFSUnder CIFS and in the following tabs most settings are not enabled beside the followingI have Allow Guest Access enabledCIFS - I have Allow Guest Access enabledAFP - Nothing enabledHTTP/S - Default access is disabledAdvanced Options - "Share folder&nbsp;group rights" are set to read/write and "share folder everyone rights" is set to disabled.Does that help?&nbsp;ThanksRowan

If you don't care about any information saved in the user accounts, you should be able to change authentication back to local users.
&nbsp;
I've never done this (I've never used AD) but it ought to work. &nbsp;Look in /home first though, and offload any data in there.

I do care very much about all the content in the shares but unfortunately, I can't reach any of it, I believe this is because the RN2100 is attempting to authorise me from the file server which now no longer exists.&nbsp;trying to connect to /shares I receive&nbsp;similar errors to thisWe can't sign you in with this credential because your domain isn't available. Make sure your device is connected to your organisation's network and try again.&nbsp;If I switched from Domain to User in SSecurity Mode, would this then bypass the need for a Domain?

I think so, yes. &nbsp;You might need to reset file and network permissions on the shares.
