page, the System menu has four sub-sections: Network, Disk,
Status and Maintenance, each accessible from the navigation
bar when you click System (Fig. 4.5).
Active Directory4.5.1.
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.
