RN214 Active Directory problems when the Domain Controller reboots
My Domain Controller will periodically reboot after pulling down Windows updates. When that happens the Readynas 214 will no longer allow AD authenticated users to log in. I have to reboot the RN21...
I have recently encountered this issue whilst testing a readynas 2304 as a backup destination. The test environment currently contains only one DC which is rebooted evey night. All backups fail until the ReadyNAS is rebooted. I have even tried restarting the samba service but this does not help. The live environment will have two DCs but if the ReadyNAS is sensitive to the loss of the controller it originally authenticates against, then this solution is not going to be feasible.
Since the NAS was not previously used in a domain environment I cannot comment as to whether this is due to recent updates.
Has this issue been raised as a bug?
Current Firware Level: 6.9.5
- It's not a bug once I had the second dc up and removed the hardcoding to point at a specific dc and rebooted a couple times and likely swore a few, it magically works and will use any dc to handle authentication.
Thanks for the update. I have configured the NAS to auto reboot each evening (cron job) to allow us to continue testing (so far so good). I will update this thread when we introduce the second DC but this may be sometime away.
