Joining a Workgroup (BUI)

Use the following procedure to join a workgroup.
  1. From the Configuration menu, select Services, then Active Directory, and click Join Workgroup.
  2. Enter the Windows workgroup name.
  3. Select or clear the option to unconfigure the LDAP service, if the option is available.
    • When LDAP has been configured with AD and the appliance is leaving the current AD domain, select this option to leave the AD domain permanently and to clear the LDAP configuration. After the LDAP service is unconfigured, it is automatically disabled.

    • Clear this option if LDAP has been configured with AD and you want to later rejoin the current AD domain and retain the AD LDAP configuration.

    • This option is unavailable when:
      • The LDAP service is not configured or it is configured for UNIX LDAP.

      • The LDAP service is configured for a different AD domain, not the current domain.

      • The appliance is not changing from domain mode to workgroup mode.

  4. Click APPLY to commit the configuration.
