AD username renamed, now home folder inaccessible
Running a ReadyNas 3220 with firmware 6.2.4. Using AD authentication, home folders enabled. One of our AD user accounts had the username changed. The home folder corresponding to the old name is located in \\readynas\home\domain\oldname (when viewed/browsed from within the ReadyNas administrative web interface). When the name was changed in AD, a new home folder appeared in \\readynas\\home\newname (not under the domain name where the old name is). When the user navigates to the NAS using Windows Explorer (by entering \\readynas\ in the address bar), he sees the shared folders and the new home folder but receives an "access denied" error when he attempts to open the new home folder. The old home folder is nowhere to be found for him in Explorer.
Is there anything I can do to fix his access to his new home folder? The old home folder doesn't need to be recovered.

- Figured it out. There was a local user defined (when the NAS was first set up) with the same name as the newly-renamed AD user. Switching over to Local User mode, deleting the local user, and then switching back to AD mode fixed the problem.
