Joining an AD Domain (BUI)

Use the following procedure to join an AD domain.

1. Optional: Configure an Active Directory site in the SMB context.
2. Optional: Configure a preferred domain controller in the SMB context.
3. Enable NTP, or ensure that the clocks of Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance and the domain controller are synchronized to within five minutes.
4. Ensure that your DNS infrastructure correctly delegates to the Active Directory domain, or set your domain controller’s IP address as a DNS name server.

   You can specify up to three of your redundant domain controllers as DNS name servers.

5. From the Configuration menu, select Services, then Active Directory, and click Join Domain.
6. Configure the Active Directory domain, administrative user name, and administrative password.
7. Click APPLY to commit the configuration.
