QNAP appliances can be integrated in AD and it works well. You basically add it
to your domain as
you would a Windows PC. Then you can set up permissions for the shares you
define on the NAS using
AD groups and/or users.
I have one in use at a small business since 2 years (model TS-459U-SP+).
I have a TS-659 Pro II home and at work. I've used them for SMB (AD
authentication) and ISCSI targets. I just moved iSCSI off the one at work now
that we have another EQ. It's mainly used as a backup target now and for any
kind of bulk storage users need. I still use the one at home for my
Can it also act as a DFS share?

I can share a SHORT VERSION of experience from the last gig - we used them
mostly with MACs for exactly what you're talking about - backups(timemachine),
some file storage, shares. Since it was mostly MACs I don't know if that helps
you, there were some Windows clients too.

Hey, from what I've seen of the cheap NAS space, Didn't burst into
flame is useful feedback...
Thanks.
Sure thing - If memory serves, I think we had about 300 users hitting it at
different times. Plus we did use AD auth from all the clients...

I have two QNAP devices at $Work. One is dedicated as a B2D target for
BackupExec and is doing essentially what you're talking about. It
leverages AD for share permissions, and hasn't so much as burped since I
set it up a couple of years ago.
Another nice feature is that it 'just works' with

I wasn't going to go there, because I've been in the same boat.
Management is often shy Open Source stuff. I don't know what it is,
but I've seen it enough to know that opening up for Open Source is not
something management does very often, or willingly.
It's a shame, really, as it does several
