HP StoreOnce VSA Backup System User Guide (TC458-96025)

Adding the StoreOnce device to an AD Domain
To join a domain:
1. Connect to the StoreOnce Web Management Interface and navigate to the NAS—CIFS Server
page.
2. Select the Edit button and choose AD from the drop-down menu.
NOTE: You must manually create an entry for the StoreOnce appliance in the DNS server
so the appliance can be resolved using its domain qualified appliance name. The StoreOnce
appliance will not automatically provide the information when joining the domain.
3. Provide the name of the intended domain, for example, “mydomain.local”.
4. Select Update. If the domain controller is found, a popup box will request credentials of a
user with permission to join the domain.
IMPORTANT: Joining or leaving the domain will result in failure of any backup or restore
operations that are currently running.
5. Provide the credentials (<User Name> and <Password>) of the Domain Administrator or
a delegated user with Domain Administrative rights and select Register.
6. After a short delay (the time is dependent on the topology and size of the AD Domain) the
computer will become a member of the domain and a Success dialog is displayed.
