Problem:
Can you guide me what we need to do to sync my ADS to the Open-E box? Are there any recommendations?
Solution:
There are no special settings you need to do. You need to sync with the ADS using Open-E GUI (Configuration->NAS resources) and chose the ADS option. Then, enter the realm (Domain+user) KDC IP and administrative account username and password.
We recommend to add the administrator account to the super users list (Configuration->NAS settings->SMB settings), and we recommend to set all permissions from the AD side.
The Active directory server will synchronies with the Open-E machine every 5 minutes.
