Hello all!

I have recently started in building up a AD domain and it is coming along well. I also like to join my existing QNAP TS H886 to this domain. I have one concern how ever. their are some local usernames that are the same as the usernames in the domain. Will this cause any conflicts? can the NAS still be accessed with a local account even when it is joined to the domain? if yes can i transfer files from the local users to the folder of the domain users?

So migrating from the local user accounts of the QNAP to the user accounts in the domain.

    Last time I did this domain accounts needed to include their domain/upn to logon, so there won’t be any account confusion. However if they were accessing the nas from a domain joined machine, it would use Kerberos anyway so shouldn’t be getting prompted to logon. Obviously that is only for SMB shares, other connection types didn’t use Kerberos.
