• When the LinkStation joins an Active Directory domain, FTP is disabled. Before using FTP, move the FTP
switch back to the position.
• Don't disable the SMB protocol while Active Directory is used for access restrictions. If you do, you will need
to enable SMB again and reconfigure AD from scratch.
NT Domain
In an NT domain environment, the LinkStation uses account information from the NT domain server to set access
restrictions for files and folders on the LinkStation. There's no need to perform individual account management for
the LinkStation. If multiple LinkStations are installed on the network, the account information is centrally managed
in the NT domain, greatly reducing the operations required for installation and management.
Note: The LinkStation supports a domain environment with a maximum of 1000 domain users and 1000 groups.
10,000 users and 10,000 groups can be downloaded from the domain controller but are not supported.
