Description

Joins the DR Series system to an Active Directory Services (ADS) domain when you specify the ADS domain name and a

valid user (administrator) for that domain.

NOTE: When attempting to join the ADS domain, the administrator password is required for that domain to ensure

that the join operation is successful. Supported domain names are limited to 64 characters in length and can only

consist of a combination of A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and two special characters: a dash (-) and a period (.).

NOTE: If you had previously joined the DR Series system to an ADS domain before running Restore Manager (RM),

after it completes you must manually rejoin the desired ADS domain using the authenticate --join command.

Syntax

authenticate --join --domain ads.storage.local --user administrator
