I am attempting to join a NAS device (Storevault) to a Windows Server 2008
hosted domain in Windows Server 2003 Functional level. The manufacturer
(NetApp) has basically disowned the product and is not producing software
upgrades for the product anymore.
The device will join the domain and a computer account will be created for
it, but it then refuses to communicate with a "Connection Terminated" error.
We have tried everything to get this box to work, up to and including
building a Server 2003 box hosting a domain, adding a 2008 box to the domain
as a DC and pointing the NAS to authenticate at the 2008 box - this does not
work (Connection Terminated). The customer we are attempting to get this to
work for has owned the NAS for less than a year, so refuses to upgrade AND
requires the use of some of the new features in Server 2008 (specifically
Terminal Services), so refuses to have a Server 2003 box in the domain for
authentication of this one NAS device. We have also poked through the many
new security settings on Server 2008 in the Default Domain Controllers policy
to no avail...
I guess my question is:
Is there any way to get a Server 2008 domain controller to act EXACTLY like
a Server 2003 or Server 2000 domain controller in order to get this NAS to
autenticate properly and not drop the connection?
Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.
