Joined AD but users need to re-authenticate

Hi,

 

After some arguing with the ReadyNAS, I was finally able to get it to join the domain.  Under users and groups in the readyNAS I am able to see my AD users and groups.  But, it seems like those user accounts are now "local" to the nas. 

 

When a user logs in to a windows computer with their domain credentials they have to re-authenticate to the ReadyNAS share they want to access.  Windows by default will try their domain\username credentials that they are logged in as.  In order for me to get a share open I have to try to authenticate to the ReadyNAS without the domain\ in front of the username.  This makes for a problem when trying to mount user home directories or shares via login script since they are essentially two different accounts.

        Server 2003 is EOL. So you may wish to update to 2012r2 and then see if it works better after updating your AD level to 2012r2
