• To use the TeraStation as a member server in an Active Directory domain, the TeraStation should be logged in to
the domain and accessed from a computer that is not a member of the domain with a valid domain account.
• If the TeraStation is a member server of an Active Directory domain, you cannot connect as a guest user via AFP.
• If your TeraStation is a member server in an Active Directory domain and you change the authentication method
to "Workgroup", the account on the domain controller will not be deleted automatically.
• If the TeraStation joins a domain network, you cannot connect to it via FTP.
• Don't disable the SMB protocol while Active Directory is used for access restrictions. If you do, you will need to
enable SMB again and reconfigure AD from scratch.
• For an access-restricted shared folder, if you change the access restrictions of all users and groups from read and
write or read only to access prohibited from the user or group list page in Settings, that shared folder can only be
accessed by admin users.
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.
Note: The TeraStation supports a NT domain environment with a maximum of 1000 users and 1000 groups. 10,000
users and 10,000 groups can be downloaded from the domain controller but are not supported.
