Active Directory issues after 6.5 upgrade

Hi,
Try to load the latest RC Beta Firmware 6.5.1 and see if it resolves your AD issues. If you're hesitant, continue to work with our support team.

I am seeing the same as well, exactly as the last post described. FWIW - I am also seeing an enormous amount of DNS query traffic for non existant domains:
_kerberos-master._udp
_kerberos-master._tcp
lb._dns-sd._udp
It looks like the upgrade may have broken something specific to Kerberos for ADS authentication?

I currently have a thread open that describe issues similar to what's been experienced here. The issue was the dreaded "Import error", but that has since been resolved by having a Netgear engineer remote in and reset some "stuff".
I'm also having a second issue with my other RN 2120 related to my users' inability to access their Home folders (i.e., login prompts followed by "access denied" messages). Looking at the folder permissions, each Home folder has a numeric ID (Unix User, Unix Group) opposed to the domain user account name. These IDs likely reflect the correct user in Unix, but Windows does not know how to interpret them, thus the permissions issues. I have e-mailed my logs (ATTN to mdgm) and am awaiting feedback. In the meantime, manually setting the permissions has gotten me by for now, but that pretty much defeats the purpose of joining the NAS to the domain. At this point, it simply saved me time creating individual user folders.

NETGEARThis worked.
Not fully worked, check my post https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Beta-Release/ReadyNAS-OS-6-5-Active-Directory-workaround/m-p/1101026#M8539
Worked for me. Problems seem to be fixed.
