Well, seeing as the 4.0.860 does NOT work with w2k3 Active directory without some registry tweaking on the domain controllers and clients, we might just have to use this work around as well, but that means we dont get the nice snazzy web-gui to configure permissions, and the sharing is done on another machine, which will probably slow down performance.
We have a 12000.. has anyone come up with an "alternative os" on these things? It would be nice just to run Linux or FreeBSD on it and have it do the WinBind and samba stuff natively. Its kind of depressing seeing our 12000 sitting there collecting dust, and just acting as a stand-alone NAS.
