Settings
To create a machine account at a different location than the
default, enter a name in the Organizational Unit field. By default,
this field is blank, signaling the domain controller to use a default
defined within the controller.
NOTE:
Sub-organizational units can be specified using Full
Distinguished Name LDAP syntax or a simple path
([organizationalunit]/[sub-unit1]/[sub-unit1a])
Set ADS domain LDAP signing to Plain (no signing), Sign, or Seal,
as appropriate for your domain. Default setting is Plain.
Enable Guest Account checkbox to allow unknown
Check the
users or users explicitly logging in as "guest" to access the
SnapServer using the guest account. Clear the option to disable
this feature.
Enabled by default. Opportunistic locking can help performance if
the current user has exclusive access to a file. Clear the checkbox
to disable opportunistic locking.
Enabled by default. The SnapServer can maintain the master list
of all computers belonging to a specific workgroup. (At least one
Master Browser must be active per workgroup.) Check the
checkbox if you plan to install this server in a Windows
environment and you want this server to be able to serve as the
Master Browser for a workgroup. Clear the checkbox to disable
this feature.
Allow root authentication checkbox to allow a root
Check the
login on the selected server.
NOTE:
The root password is synchronized with the admin
password.
Some administrators may wish to disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
Select the checkbox to disable NetBIOS; clear the checkbox to
leave NetBIOS enabled.
NOTE:
If you disable NetBIOS and you are joining a domain, you
must enter the domain name as a fully qualified domain
name (for example,
actdirdomname.companyname.com). A short form such
as ActDirDomName will not work.
SnapServers recognize trust relationships established between
the domain to which the SnapServer is joined and other domains
in a Windows environment by default. Select the checkbox to
toggle this feature.
NOTE:
SnapServers remember trusted domains. That is, if this
feature is disabled and then activated at a later time, the
previously downloaded user and group lists, as well as
any security permissions assigned to them, will be
retained.
