Na m e re so lu tio n p r io rity

You can select to use DNS server or WINS server to resolve client host names from IP addresses.

When you set up your NAS to use a WINS server or to be a WINS server, you can choose to use DNS

or WINS first for name resolution. When WINS is enabled, the default setting is “Try WINS then DNS”.

Otherwise, DNS will be used for name resolution by default.

In an Active Directory environment, the default login formats for the domain users are:

Windows shares: domain\username

FTP: domain+username

Web File Manager: domain+username

AFP: domain+username

When you turn on this option, the users can use the same login name format (domain\username) to

connect to the NAS via AFP, FTP, and Web File Manager.

A uto m atica lly r e gis te r in DNS:

When this option is turned on and the NAS is joined to an Active

Directory, the NAS will register itself automatically in the domain DNS server. This will create a DNS

host entry for the NAS in the DNS server. If the NAS IP is changed, the NAS will automatically update

the new IP in the DNS server.

E na ble truste d d om a ins:

Select this option to load the users from trusted Active Directory domains

and specify their access permissions to the NAS in “Access Right Management” > “Share Folders”. (The

domain trusts are set up in Active Directory only, not on the NAS.)
