Migration local users to AD integration in ReadyNAS OS 6
Hi everyone,
First of all, I have read pretty much every single article about this isse and haven't found a straightforward answer, which is why I'm posting this here.
I want to migrate local us...
Thank you for the info. So a safe procedure would be:
- Make sure to backup all user home folders, in case they have anything stored there.
- Join the ReadyNAS to the domain and sync Users.
- Reset all permission through Windows Explorer.
The ReadyNAS is already using the DC as NTP server and DNS.
If I understood correctly, ony Home shares will be lost. I won't lose all other shares and data, correct?
Should I delete all users and groups before setting up AD as a precaution? Or are they deleted as part of the procedure?
Hi EKroboter
If your users have any files saved on their private home folders, backing up their folders would be the best thing to do.
Once your ReadyNAS is joined to your AD it should apply the permissions you have set on your AD.
Yes, only Home shares will be removed all other shares and data will be intact and will be synced with your AD users. The local users and groups will be disabled so you don't need to delete it.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Thank a lot for the instructions. I have succesfully joined the ReadyNAS to our domain and imported user accounts correctly.
I am now setting all shares permissions through Windows Explorer, in the share Security tab. I removed everyone access and only allow access to the corresponding groups (i.e. only the members of the Sales group will have access to the Sales share).
I'm seeing that it is applying hte permissions on every single file, which will take a long time on larger shares with thousands of files.
Hi Marc_V ,
So everything was running smoothly until I decided to Refresh ADS accounts to check if it added new users. Well... now everything is screwed up. An Import errror occurs and all my users and groups have vanished from the list. I rebooted the DC, the ReadyNAS and it still does not work.
I haven't made any changes to my AD config, the admin password is correct and all the settings are exaclty the same as they were when I joined the NAS to our domain.
This is driving me nuts. How can I submit the logs to check for errros?
