By default, Windows domain accounts do not have home folders. If you wish to assign a home
folder to this type of account, simply select the desired account on the left (use Ctrl for multiple
and Shift for continuous selection), then click on "Add to local". The selected accounts will appear
in the list of local users. By default, they are part of the "guests" group. First setup the passwords
for the accounts, then transfer these accounts from the "guests" group to the "users" group, and
select the "User home volume" location.
Additionally, Windows domain account will directly apply the default settings for all newly created
users defined in "Security Option". The system administrator can setup hard disk quota for each
individual NT domain account in "Quota Option".
Note:
1. For security reasons, the Windows domain does not allow other domains to retrieve the user
passwords on it; when the account information in the "Windows domain accounts" tab are added
to the "local accounts", the system will not able to duplicate the user passwords on Windows
domain directly to the local machine. The system administrator will have to add passwords for
these accounts on the "Local accounts" tab manually. Therefore, please set the same
passwords here as the ones on Windows domain.
2. This system allows group names with a maximum of 15 displayable characters. After having
been added to a Windows domain, any group name on the domain with more than 15
characters will not be duplicated by the system onto the NAS server. Only one warning
message will be shown and inform the system administrator of all unduplicated accounts. If the
NAS server is part of the Windows domain, the system administrator has to avoid adding any
group on the domain with a name exceeding 15 characters, otherwise the system will not be
able to duplicate this group to the NAS server, nor will a warning message appear.
