Sorry for getting back to late. Well I am not sure about this. I called EMC support and they told me that it wont work, you need to upgrade the code on your NAS devices to version to atleast 5.6.42. I was not pretty sure about that, but I am still looking to get some work around or I would probably would go for an code upgrade, as when I went to emc primus 236260, it said DART 5.5 will work with 2008 Domain Controller but i have to down grade the security features to NT4, which stop most of the important security and add on features of 2008 domain controller. Right now I am on DART 5.5. So I think I need to upgrade the code on my NAS devices.
Well I have 2 NAS devices in my environemt, one of them is sitting on 5.6.46 so for that I have no issues, but other NAS device is sitting on 5.5.30-5, which we use as short time archive for most of our application.
As I have never done a code upgrade on NAS device, is it some thing I can do? And I was looking for the code on Powerlink, but couldnt found one. Is it some thing that I need to contact CE or support to get one?
I looking out for Code 5.6.46. I cannot find it on powerlink. Is it some thing that I need to get it from CE or support. And can I do the code upgrade or CE has to come onsite and do it.

Hi,
NAS 5.6.46 is fully supported with Windows 2008 domains. The CIFS servers will act as Windows 2003 member servers.

Hi,

Hi,
You need an upgrade on the 5.5. code. It's also EOSL ( End Of Support Life ).
You need to request an upgrade from an EMC representative. Please, open a support ticket for that.
There is a tool for customer's use, but only on 6.0 code.

Hi,
The CE must go onsite and upgrade your system.
