User account on Domain Controller, which should be the Domain Administrator or Delegated
user with Domain Administrative rights.

User account on server running DNS to add entries.

The system time on the StoreOnce Backup system must be correct and in sync with that of the
domain controller. Using the StoreOnce CLI time commands on the StoreOnce Backup system
to synchronize with a time server ensures accurate time keeping. See the HP StoreOnce Backup
system CLI Reference Guide
for details.

IMPORTANT:

AD Domain Support: StoreOnce models support configuration in a multi-domain

tree forest but do not support multi-forest domain topologies.

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.
