domain user access
Domain users used to see a folder with their name when they would select the readynas box from the network. They could read/write to this folder with no username/password prompt. Now each user still sees their own folder but are now presented with a username/password prompt and it doesn't matter what is entered it always fails. Domain admins, local admins, the users pc (domain) login, nothing works. I cant specifically set permissions on these folders because I never created them. They've just always been there and each user only sees their own. They do not show in the share listings dialog in frontview.
I assume it has to be some sort of overall system access setting but all I see are settings for folders I have manually created.
Bonus question: How can I as the domain admin monitor all these folders. For example, to check how much data users are storing in them.

- It might be helpful is you indicate what specific ReadyNAS product you are talking about, and what firmware it is running. Maybe also put the ReadyNAS into your profile or signature.
- The unit is a Readynas Pro 6. I cannot find any version info for the unit. I would think system would show it, or at least status but I don't seem to see it. RAIDiator 4.2.15 is in the bottom of the window. That seems like that would be the gui I'm looking at though rather than the unit?
- 4.2.15 is probably what you are running then. You can also find this out through RAIDar (PC app) or from the Frontview admin login.
I don't have expertise in domain stuff, hopefully this will help someone who does when they respond. - Resolved. In case anyone else comes across this thread looking for a solution to a similar problem, here is how I fixed my issue of users no longer being able to access their home shares. In FrontView, Security / Security Mode... I changed the setting from Domain to User and then back to Domain again. I hit apply to 'refresh' the domain setting. Got a message saying 'unsuccessful joining domain'. Entered domain administrator password and clicked apply. Got a message saying 'successfully joined domain'. All user shares now accessible again so I'm guessing it just needed to have the setting refreshed.
