Notes on centralized management of multiple TeraStation accounts
• The TeraStation can link to an NT domain. In an NT domain environment, the TeraStation uses account
information from the NT domain server to set access restrictions for files and folders on the TeraStation. There's
no need to perform individual account management for the TeraStation. If multiple TeraStations are installed on
the network, the account information is centrally managed in the NT domain, greatly reducing the operations
required for installation and management.
• In some environments, it is not possible to log on using an NT domain. If this happens, use an Active Directory
domain.
• A maximum of 1000 domain users and 1000 groups can be downloaded from an NT domain server.
