Firmware 6.5.0 - Failure To Sync ADS Information - Users locked out of shared folders
Since updating to firmware 6.5.0 my ReadyNAS 3130 is unable to sync ADS information. ADS users and groups are no longer showing on the accounts page. All shares have lost group and user permissions c...

I have been in contact with support for this issue and others. No resolution...
This latest firmware update breaking the ADS connection is the last straw for me with Netgear. The 6.5.0 update was supposed to fix the Anti-Virus scanner issue that caused the ReadyNAS units to respond extremly slowly if it all. Instead, it created an even bigger problem across my network where users could no longer access any of their data.
This has been ongoing for two weeks now with no resolution.
That's unaccecptable!
I have migrated my data to other servers and purchased two new rackmount NAS. My Netgear 3130's are sitting on the floor waiting for the next trash pickup.

Hello stevecr25,
having the same problem, you should check the following:
1. Have you tried to disable AD account caching? I have observed that you might have access to the folders after this step.
2. Please logoff/logon on your windows machine after making changes on the AD settings of the Readynas. Otherwise, you might be unable to connect to the shares.
3. You should check if you can redefine file access rights via windows to the required folders/files. With disabled AD accound caching, this should work
4. If you have problems with the Userfolders automatically created by ReadynasOS, you could copy the content to a differnt share via the web admin frontend and set the user access rights again.
Best regards
Dirk
