Managing Your Storage System

Synchronizing the Storage System and Active Directory Server

If you add a new user or group to the Active Directory server, you must wait until the next
synchronization before assigning that user or group to a shared folder, You should also do
this if a user's password changed on the Active Directory server and the user can no
longer access shared folders on the storage system.
To synchronize the storage system and Active Directory server:
1. In the navigation bar, click Users.
2. In the left pane, click either Users & Computers or Groups.
3. Click Synchronize. The page displays the progress of the synchronization.
Notes:
•
Your storage system supports 128 users and 128 groups. If the selected organizational
unit on your Active Directory server currently exceeds the maximum, the excess users
or groups will not be added to the storage system.
•
If the clocks of the storage system and the Active Directory server differ by more than
five minutes, errors will occur when the two systems synchronize. You must adjust
the storage system time, time zone, or both to ensure that they match as described in
"Changing the System Settings" on page
•
It is recommended that you configure both the storage system and the Active
Directory server to set their clocks from a common Network Time Protocol (NTP)
server.
For information about setting the storage system time or using an NTP server, see
"Changing the System Settings" on page
