Security Option Missing from Menu ReadyNas NV+

I have one ReadyNas NV+ on a windows domain that I liked as a storage option so I bought another and set it up on the domain (Windows Server 2012 R2). In comparing my setups through the menu, I noticed that I don't have a security tab for the original ReadyNAS NV+, just Admin password and user accounts. On the new machine I just set up, it has the extra option of security that I used to to join it to the domain.

 

I don't understand why one machine doesn't have the security option. Both machines are running the 4.1.15 firmware.

 

What am I missing?

    Hello MTUser2013,

     

    I guess you can try clearing the browser cache first, then try to access its FrontView again. Also, if you can access the shares and files of this NAS that has no Security mode option, the best thing you can do next it perhaps back up the data then factory reset it and reinstall it then check the FrontView.

      These are both NV+, correct?  A duo v1 also runs 4.1.15 but doesn't support AD security.

      Hello,

       

      Thanks for the help. I tried your suggestions about clearing the cache etc and looking in Frontview. The option did not appear. I did not want to do a factory reset as I have a lot of files on the unit. I did try the firmware reinstall option from the boot menu. I know this option destroys the set admin password, but I thought it reset the unit to factory defaults: admin and password? I cannot get into the unit using this combination.

       

      Do I have the correct default combination? I googled it and found a netgear KB article.
