ADS/NT Configuration

[MrJimmyPie]

Has anybody come accross any issues connecting a N5200PRO to a Server2003 domain using the
ADS/NT Configuration?

No matter what settings I use it will not authenticate and I get this:

Error : ADS server or ADS realm error (maybe DNS server cannot resolve the name).
Error : Fail to join ADS domain!

I have no trouble connecting or resolving with other devices!

I would really appreciate any help with this frustrating problem

Dear Sir,

I might need to confirm follwoing items:

1. Is there any other trust AD with this AD?
2. Does this AD have alias name?
3. Does Netlogon service is enabled?
4. Does Windows Time service is enabled?

Additionally, I would recommend diagnostic DC through Domain Controller Diagnostics Tool (dcdiag.exe)

in case the problem still exist, please enable System Log through below URL

http://<N5200_IP>/adm/getform.html?name=syslog

After the System Log service is enabled, please try join to AD again, those login log will save into “tmp” folder under Nsync folder.

Please send the config.bin and all files & folders under Nsync folder. The config.bin can be downloaded from [System / Mgmt] page and then press [Download] button.


Yvon.

Hello,
I too seem to have a problem with this authentication.
As a 1U4500 owner and a DC with AD, I would have liked to authenticate my users authomatically, but I do not seem to be able to get the right settings. I allways come across with the same error as MrJimmyPie.
Does anyone know how to solve this if:
- the domain name is mtbelgium.local
- the name of the server = server
- the administrator account is called "administrator"
- I do not have a clue what they mean with ADS/NT Realm

Thanks a lot for any help in this matter.

G'day all,
This issue has been addressed previously - the Thecus boxes can't sync with Active Directory as they join the domain as "computer" not "server". Suggest you read the following post for some further information before you waste too much time trying.
