ReadyNAS 312 - OS 6.4.0 AD Container OU Not Found

Hi,

Had a recent issue with our ReadyNAS 312. Originally it was in our domain, under OU=Servers,OU=Site,OU=Regional Infrastructure,DC=domain,DC=net. During the issue, we removed it fromt he domain & deleted the entry in the OU. Then performed the Firmware upgrade from 6.1 to 6.4, fixed the original issue, but now want to put it back in the domain, under the same OU. We've tried supplying: Regional Infrastructure/Site/Servers (which is how we originally set it up) - as per How do I configure active directory mode on my ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system? but it says the "specified OU does not exist in the domain". We've also tried Regional Infrastructure,Site,Servers (commas not slashes) as per How do I use the domain security mode. But again get the same error. I've also tried switching the OU's around, as it says the lowest should be first, so Servers/Site/Regional Infrastructure. But that didn't work. Which is the correct OU containing naming convention to supply?

Thanks

Ben

A fix for this should make it into 6.4.1. We were a little too cautious with our string escaping, which caused problems with spaces.

In the mean time you can leave the OU field blank to have the computer account created in the default Computers OU, or specify an OU without spaces. Then just move to the correct OU.

Should be "Regional Infrastructure/Site/Servers", but it looks like the space causes issues.
On my test DC renaming "Regional Infrastructure" to "Regional" works fine with the "OU/OU" syntax.

I'll do some more looking into it tomorrow.

Thanks siigna. Apologies for the delay in replying, it's been a busy week.
The trouble we have is all infrastructure like servers & nas devices are under 'regional infrastructure' ou. If I'm able to move it from another ou with no space that should work for the time being. Looking forward to 6.4.1 release!
Thanks
