Hi all,

I'm wondering if there are any complications that might occur by adding an Isilon file server to our Windows AD Domain, the file server has been in use for a number of years now but was never added to our domain, which means permissions cannot be set for individual user accounts / groups or through a Group Policy in Windows.

Under authentication it gives the option to add a Domain.

When it was originally setup, the local domain on the isilon was given the same name as our AD Domain.

Lets say,  example.com, so the isilons local domain is EXAMPLE, and our AD Domain is EXAMPLE.COM.

Could that cause a conflict?

Are there any reasons I should not add our file server to the Domain?
