In addition to the Configuration page, which is the main System

Status and Maintenance, each accessible from the navigation
bar when you click System (Fig. 4.5).
4.5.1.

Active Directory

The 5big can join a Microsoft Active Directory. Active Directory
is the directory service that is included with Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows 2000 Server. By creating
a link between user accounts, mailbox accounts, and applica-
tions, Active Directory simplifies the task of adding, modifying,
and deleting user accounts. Integrating the 5big with your Ac-
tive Directory allows the 5big to streamline the creation of users,
groups, and access privileges.
To connect, click on System > Join Domain. Enter a domain
name, username, and password and click Join Domain.
