Jontz, Windows 2000 works in exactly the same way as 2003 as far as AD is concerned, mutiple DC's replicating with each other. A particular DC can be specified to act as a PDC emulator when in a mixed NT4/2000 environment but apart from that there is no similarity between NT4 (flat file) directory structure and AD. Microsoft ditched the whole PDC/BDC directory setup when they launched W2K.

Aside from this I am known the wiser as to why my Snap still will not reference the domain (unless I'm seriously missing something). Does anyone know of a workaround whereby I can assign network users full access without authenticating against AD (or using the web front-end)?

Thanks

That'w what I was thinking of, a PDC emulator. That's the way it was set up at the old network I used to administer. I wish I could be of more help, but I am not sure what to tell you. This is one of those things where I would love to be there and play with it. Kinda hard to have any good ideas from this distance...

Looks like I'm going to have to bite the bullet and open a call with adaptec.......

If your user names on the snap matches the MS user name. Just do a auto connect on login. Setup a groupe with full access and let them loose.

Snap guest account is good for this.

I have a Snap 4100 and out of the blue users weren't able to access the shares.. Whenever I tried it would prompt for username / password.. I had this happen to be before with a Snap 410 and a simple reboot would fix the issue..

However, it's not with this one..

I have "SMB : PCNAME not connected to domain controller." in the logs.. I also *had* "SMB : Can't resolve master browser IP address for domain DOMAINNAME."

I tried adding the host entries and rebooting but I still get "Problem: Cannot view users and groups from the Windows domain. Please make sure you have specified a correct domain user name and password using the Use Windows domain security security guide."

I have tried disabling "Microsoft Networking" and enabling, adding different domain users via the security guide but I still can't get the SOB to work!

One question I do have.. I can't remember if I'm supposed to manually create the computer account or if it's supposed to.. If it's supposed to, it's not.. I try and that still doesn't fix it..

Any ideas?

Thanks much!
