Hello.
New to FreeNAS as of end of last week.
My setup is: FreeNAS-8.3.1-RELEASE-p2-x64 (r12686+b770da6_dirty)
Windows Active Directory network
I have knocked up a FreeNAS server for storage for our office - its in trial stage at the mo before i splash some cash on it to build a proper one.
I have it joined to our Windows Active Directory domain and have created some test shares which are accessed fine and everything ok.
Now im trying to get it backed up - We use Symantec Backup Exec 2010.
I get the error:
(Server: "server") (Job: "FreeNas Test") FreeNas Test -- The job failed with the following error: The logon account that was provided does not have valid credentials. Ensure that the user name and password are correct, and then try again.
Whenever i try to run a job.
Symantec support have suggested this:
Hi,
Add your BESA onto the NAS as a local admin explicitly and try again.
Thanks!
So they want me to add domain\backupexec user as a local user called backupexec on FreeNAS.
However i cannot do this...... I have created a Group called Backup, but when i create a new user it says its created but it vanishes and never appears.
I cant choose it as a member for the Backup group and dont see it when i View Users.
So my quick qu in my FreeNAS learning curve is how do i create this backupexec local user to be a local admin please?
I can confirm that the backup exec domain user account has full control permissions on all the shares, and is also a member of the domain admins group!
If i have missed any info please ask.
Many TIA
