specified ou does not exist in the domain
Hi, Urgent help needed! After an upgrade from 6.4.x to 6.6.1, I now cannot get the ReadyNAS to talk to AD! All I get is the message "specified ou does not exist in the domain". I have tried all c...
I have eventually solved the issues that I have had.
If anyone has had similar issues, upgrading to v6.6.1, this is the only way that I found that worked:
1. Backup all data off NAS
2. Write down your configuration (don't bother saving it - see below)
3. Wipe the NAS using the power button/reset button method - do NOT use the web interface to wipe - it does not seem to do it properly
4. Manually rebuild your configuration. Do not use the config backup, as it makes the system unstable and you'll have to wipe it again (it certainly did in my case). It would appear that a config backup may not always work [on rebuild], and may carry across errors or instabilities or may be just incompatible with the newer firmware.
I hope this helps anyone with the same problems.
Best wait until a Netgear Mod comes by or someone more savvy than myself.
I have been using 6.6.1 for weeks now (beta versions) and it has not been too bad, admittedly only on a home Pro 4.
I am guessing that somehow your original upgrade got screwed in it's passage from Netgears server.
Netgear warn against downgrading, what the implications are I don't know
Best of luck
