RN 2120 Active Directory "Import Error"
I have two office locations, each of which has a ReadyNAS 2120 set up for storing location-based backups as well as serving up home folders for users. Both devices have been live for over a year and...

Hi Chris
If only I could... I can't even see the root / list of shares without providing the authorisation.
So we can't even see the shares/folders in order to set up Windows permissions.

I have avoided using domain credentials for managing permissions via Windows. Instead, I connect with the local RN admin account (i.e., <RN Name>\admin + password). See if that at least allows you to view the shares and associated permissions. If it does, you should be able to make changes at that point.

Hello:
Did you try to reboot the Nas, and or test from an other computer?
Some time the password is store on windows, and it will not leave it until you reboot the computer...In fact, i have test to reset the nas:
From start even the local account could not work on network storage... (with the admin account).
After a lot of test, i have change an other time the admin password on the nas, and then it work...
It seems that if you set the admin password during the "sync" RAID opperation (when you reset the nas and that it create the RAID Grappe) it does not work...But well, i know able to use Active Directory import...
So on the 6.5 it seems that there is two problem:
1) AD that is the subject of this topic
2) local account, if we configure the password during the "sync" process...

Yes I always connect to the NAS using the local Admin account, not AD credentials.
Using this I'm able to view/set permissions on shares, but I'm still unable to access them from the LAN.
I've tried rebooting, rebooting again, deleting shares/permissions and re-adding, I've tried talking nicely to the NAS and even asking it in Swahili. Quite frankly I'm running out of ideas, apart from just using it as a decorative door stop, or maybe an overly expensive paperweight?
Any other ideas welcome though!

Hello,
As i said, i have got the same problem on the bigining.
I reset the nas, so start from the biggining.
I configure the "admin" password.
And after the sync RAID task, i try to access on it by share.
If i let only "admin" right to share ==> i could not access on it by computer (even with doing //NAS/Admin on login)If i let "everyone" ==> it work's but that was not what i want.
After that i have made a lot of test, and then try to change the password again.
Then reboot the nas and the computer.==> now it work's for the admin.
I think that the change password again that solve it, but i do not know why... The password was good has i could connect to the web access...
So there is problem sometimes even for the local access.. Even after a clean reset...Try to set your admin password again to see if it solve the problem?
