Can someone let me know how to go about changing the administrator account used for the Active Directory sync? Also, does this change require a reboot of the device or anything of that nature?
The original poster asked how to CHANGE the admin password, not how to configure it all to begin with. Sadly, it appears that the ADS information can't be edited once it's configured. I'm encountering this problem myself - my "Directory Service Address" changed (the machine was replaced) and I can't seem to edit that field. 😞
So.. to answer both the original poster's question, AND as a resolution for my own issue:
If you flip the access type back and forth between "active directory" and "local users" a few times (without doing anything but changing that drop list.. no buttons, etc) it appears to re-enable the disabled feilds, allowing you to edit the admin credentials, and directory server address.
okay, maybe NOT a resolution to my issue. I can change the fields, but it won't authenticate against my DC anymore. I'm now completely locked out of my NAS. Nice, netgear. 😞
...
Thank you, Danish, for getting things working again. On both of them. 🙂
