I have not yet tried the suggestion with the second batch of code. net view \\qnapts-431 - System error 53 has occurred. Here is a partial response to the suggestions. I meant "Enterprise" in this context as " AD", I am more than aware of the strengths and weaknesses of SBS2003. The SBS was a Swiss army knife of castrated versions of a number of Microsoft server products (Exchange, SQL etc.), which are intended for side-by-side migrations/upgrades, requiring skills a typical SBS owner wouldn't have - as well as generally being a lot easier when migrating to the full versions of those products than to WSE, the replacement for SBS. The original poster should try to migrate off it before the end of support, but if they won't, I know why: it's a royal pain in the posterior. "SB" in "SBS" happens to stand for "Small Business" and quite rightfully so. I'm not very surprised you are having issues integrating a 12 year old Server with a "Home" based NAS in an Enterprise LAN. Similarly using a "Home" NAS on an Enterprise network strikes me as "odd". ![]() There is nothing wrong with Windows 7 (or 8.1 for that matter), but using 13 year old Server software is inexcusable. I am always amused when I see Enterprises that use "current" Operating Systems on PC's, but scrimp on the Server and network infastructure. ![]() I hope the hints provided in this message assist you in your quest. We'll help where we can, but it is difficult to provide assistance on such a network.

Are all your machines in the same Domain/Workgroup?.Will you be upgrading your SBS2003 server prior to July 14, 2015? See Microsoft document: Windows Server 2003 support is ending July 14, 2015.Have you created DNS Entries for " qnapts-431" in the DNS Server on your SBS2003 box?.Have you joined the NAS to the Active Directory.on the SBS2003 box? (See the Joining NAS to Active Directory (Windows Server 2003/2008/2012)) section of the fine QNAP Turbo NAS User Manual ( "Home") 4.1 manual.Have you enabled Active Directory authentication in " Privilege Settings" > " Domain Security" on the NAS?.Are you logging into the NAS as " DOMAIN\username" or DOMAIN username?.Why are you using a " Home" NAS on an Enterprise network? For complete Microsoft AD support you should probably be using an " SMB" QNAP model, so that you have " SMB" Firmware on the NAS, in order to interact properly with your antique SBS2003 server.
