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 tho...
It is a netgear 2120
Firmware version 6.2.4
Domain is Windows 2003. my next project is upgrading the domian to windows 2012r2.
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
Yea, I know that and like I said its my next project.
I had a user back up their entire 3TB usb drive to my existing NAS which doesn't have nearly that space so I was hoping I could get moved to the ReadyNAS first then upgrade Windows / Active Directory.
Are there compatiblility issues with Windows 2003?
What is the reason for the double authentication issue?
It should work.
Have you opened a support case?I have not, but I will now and I'll report back.
The authentication is working, but users have to remove the domain name when they are prompted for authentication in order to connect since they technically aren't authenticating against the domain, they are authenticating against the local user database (which was imported to the ReadyNAS).
I'm really hoping this isn't the way these actually work, or I'll be doing FreeNAS on a VM via NFS for proper AD authentication.
