Remove Readynas from AD

Hi. We lost our domain/AD (long story). Can I get advice on removing AD authentication from our RN so that we can just give access to shares via local users?

  • Hi dkaainoa 

     

    You can remove AD from the NAS by navigating to: "Accounts" > "Authentication" > Here change the access type "Local Users".

     

    You might need to adjust share and file permissions, depending on how that was set previously. For example, you might need to grant your new local users, access to the SMB shares, etc.

      Hey, thanks for that.  My settings below don't indicate that I have AD authentication setup, but I do.  In addition these settings are greyed out.  Can you advise?
