®

:

Make sure that Active Directory has been configured in the Directory
Manager. See “Secure Managed Client / LANDesk setup” on page 13 for

NAS volumes can be created without Active Directory configuration.

However, Active Directory must be configured in order to manage these
volumes using AD permisssions and policies.

From the SMC Manager screen, right-click on the NAS volume in the
storage array and click Active Directory configuration. The Active
Directory selection screen opens.
