Hi, I recently purchased a ReadyNAS Duo V2 and am having issues getting the permissions set up in an 2008 AD environment. I have followed the instructions posted here http://www.readynas.com/?p=1987 and am able to map the device as a network drive (N:), but don't seem to have full admin access on the share I created.
I'm trying to run the robocopy command below to pre-stage some DFS data and am getting the following error from robocopy "ERROR - You do not have the Manage Auditing user right".
I've been beating my head on this for a couple days now and I'm getting ready to take it back and find another solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Do you actually need the auditing information? If not, you can try /copy:DATSO instead of /copyall. If you only need the files and timestamps (and don't care about the file owner), just leave the /copyall out altogether.
Another option is to run CMD as administrator, and try your robocopy command line again.
Thanks for the response Stephen; unfortunately (I'm pretty sure) I do need the auditing information and the file permissions need to be exact. If DFS notices any differences in the permissions it will treat the data like it's pre-existing, will ignore it, and will copy the entire data set over the WAN (which is exactly what I'm trying to avoid).
Yep, I was running all commands from an elevated PowerShell window, didn't seem to help.
UPDATE: After taking ownership of the 'DATA' share, I was able to get the command to execute with the /copyall switch, but the NAS is changing the permissions on the files and when I compare the file hashes they don't match.
Its starting to look like I bought a ReadyNAS that won't support iSCSI or any sort of features that would be useful for creating backups with unmodified permissions... Unless I install the ssh and apt plugins, and start hacking away.
If anyone has has been able to successfully pre-stage DFS data on a ReadyNAS Duo V2 any advice/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
