Cannot Access ReadyNAS 2100 shares on a domain
Hi I'm using a ReadyNAS 2100 [X-RAID2] using RAIDiator 4.2.15 firmware. I have it set up to use ADS and it was working great. Whenever I try to browse to the NAS using windows explorer, I get "Window...
Hello dday1,
You may need to provide complete information/details for the 2 concerns you have raised. Browsing to the shares of the NAS via CIFS/SMB first needs to have that protocol enabled and since you are planning to associate your NAS to the AD, make sure you have no permissions set on the shares. Maybe you can try going back to permission setting of the share you are having trouble with then Reset permission instead and see if that will help, here's how:
As for joining the NAS to AD, it would help giving us idea of the error and the settings you made that fails.

Hi JennC,
The CIFS protocol is definitely enabled and it used to be joined to my domain, but now it isn't for some reason. The problem occurs for all shares and I can currently only access them using HTTP. I tried reseting the permission like you suggested, but that didn't change anything. I also made sure that there are no permissions on the shares
When joining to AD, the error is what I've stated above: "Unsuccessful joining the domain". Nothing in the logs and no other errors. The settings used are as follows:
Domain type: ADS
Netbios name: My domain name
Domain Name (FQDN): My full domain name (company.com)
New object OU: blank
Restrict accounts to OU: blank
Domain Controller: autodetect (I still get the error if I type in my DC IP address)
Domain administrator/Password: Domain admin credentials
