12. If you want to specify the name of the organizational unit that contains the users and groups

that will be able to access shared folders on the storage system, enter the name in the
Organizational unit name text box (up to 256 characters). This unit must not have more than
100 subunits, and the name must be preceded by a forward slash (as in /Sales). Click
“Next”.

Note: The name of the organizational unit itself cannot contain a slash. For
example, if the name is Sales/Marketing, you must either specify a different
organizational unit name, leave the name blank, or change the name of the
organizational unit on the Active Directory server.

If you omit an organizational unit name here, you can browse the Active Directory tree on
the next page. However, if the tree has more than 100 subunits, you must specify an
organizational unit name.

Note: If the storage system time and Active Directory server time differ by more
than five minutes, an error message displays. You must adjust the storage
system time, time zone, or both to ensure that they match. Even if the storage
system and Active Directory server are in the same time zone and have the same
time, errors might still occur if the Active Directory server adjusts for daylight
savings time. In this case, you must change both the time zone and time on the
storage system. For example, if the Active Directory server time is 2:00 P.M. in
the Central Time zone (GMT-06:00), you would set the storage system time zone
to Eastern Time (GMT-05:00) and then set the time to match the Active Directory
server (14:00). If you do this, do not synchronize the storage system with an NTP
server, as the time will be readjusted based on the time zone.

13. On the next screen (Figure 3-14), select the organizational units that contain the users or

groups that will be allowed to access the shared folders on the storage system, and then
click “Next”.

You must select at least one organizational unit. Selecting the forward slash mark (/) selects
everyone in the tree.

Note: Your storage system supports only 128 users and 128 groups. If the
selected organizational unit exceeds these maximums, the excess users or
groups will not be added to the storage system.
