Why can the QNAP NAS Domain Controller not join a Windows Server 2003 R2 domain as a RODC (Read-Only Domain Controller)?
Only Domain Controllers that can read and write can join a Windows Server 2003 R2 Domain. Please change the role of the QNAP NAS Domain Controller to ADDC (Active Directory Domain Controller) and try again.
Why can a QNAP NAS not join a domain using an RODC (Read-Only Domain Controller)?
QNAP NAS can only join domains using an RWDC (Read/Write Domain Controller). Join attempts will fail if the domain controller is not writable. This is a QNAP NAS limitation.

Can I change my LDAP username?
No.The permissionsofshared folders are based on usernames. If a username is changed, the user will lose permissions to the shared folders he/shehasaccess to. After changing the user name, it is required to set permission to the new username.
Can I use local user and LDAP user together?
You cannot create a local user and LDAP user with the same username. It is advised to only use LDAP user if enabled. If for some reason local users are needed, the username must not be the same as a LDAP user. When 2 users from LDAP and local NAS have the same username, the result may be unexpected.
