Synchronizing the Storage System and Active Directory server
By default, the storage system obtains information about users and groups from the Active Directory server
every 30 minutes, and you can change this value (as described in
Properties" on page 57).
If you add a new user or group to the Active Directory server and do not need to wait until the next
synchronization before assigning that user or group to a shared folder, you can synchronize the storage
system and Active Directory server immediately. You should also do this if a user's password is changed
