AdditionalInformation
When an SMB server is joined to a workgroup, share security is managed directly from the remote
management console. For a CIFS/SMB share, security is provided through the read only or read/write
access to the share. By default, when a CIFS/SMB share is created, the default security setting allows
access for all users. Any access restrictions on individual users can be managed by editing a share on the
NAS Summary page (see Editing a NAS Share on page 209).
Joining a Windows Domain
Join a Windows domain to add the DXi6900 to a Windows network using Active Directory. After you join a
domain, CIFS/SMB shares are available for use on the Windows network.
Before joining a Windows domain, make sure the date and time on the DXi6900 is correct and is
synchronized with the Active Directory Services (ADS) server (see Date & Time on page 316). The time
difference between the DXi6900 and the ADS server (domain controller) must be less than 300 seconds.
Quantum recommends using the same NTP server for the DXi6900 and the ADS server to keep them
synchronized.
