If it is just a workgroup, it is OK, but if it domain based, then AD integration is a must. I've got a small office that thought it would be fun to put in their own NAS (dlink) and they are now "enjoying" logging into the device every time they want to access files. What a pain. Since then I've built a QNAp with iSCSI functionality...attached to a server. makes things much easier.
