Hello community, this will be my first post. 

 

I have been using UnRaid PRO version 6.9.2 for about two months now. I have my UnRaid box connected to my AD Domain hosted by a windows server 2008 box via the method under SMB settings in the UnRaid GUI where you may type the FQDN in to connect to a domain. I have a few shares, one of which is a private one, accessible only by my administrative account in the domain, and an "it" user I created in UnRaid. I recently transferred all of the data to this private share from my old QNAP NAS to via Rsync, which went perfectly. I'd like to use the rootshare method, as it is quick and local to the server, which already has the data I want on it, on the disks I want it on, to reorganize my data by moving data from within /mnt/user/<share> to /mnt/user/<share2>, so that I may take down my old QNAP NAS and continue forwards solely with UnRaid.

 

Here are the steps that I have followed to connect the "it" user of UnRaid to the root share as a mapped drive: 

1.) Stopped the array

2.) Went to SMB Extras, and added the following:

        [rootshare]

        path = /mnt/

        comment =

        browseable = no

        # Secure

        public = no

        valid users = it

        writeable = yes

        vfs objects =

3.) Started the array back up

4.) Then, I went to my windows 10 pro desktop, to file explorer, and attempted to map a network drive as the following:

 

(note: the UnRaid Server's name is "Sedona". Also, I had previously connected with different credentials, so I disconnected all mapped network drives to Sedona, and then deleted all of the credentials I had for it in Windows Credential Manager in the Control Panel)

 

User: sedona\it 

PW: xxxxxx

This did not work, so I tried connecting connecting using a capital S, which did not work. I then tried using the IP address of the server rather than the DNS name, which has been set to a static 192.168.1.6, which also did not work. Then I tried using NO xxxx\, and only put "it". This also did not work.

 

So, I'm stumped. I looked around here on the forum and at the subreddit, and have not been able to find anyone who has had my issue. is there any other way to connect to the rootshare from my desktop to perform my transfer? Is there some issue with mapping a network drive on a windows computer, using the unraid user schema, when unraid is a part of an AD Domain? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Unassigned Devices plugin has a rootshare feature don't know if it will help or not 

Thank you! 

 

I did not receive the same permissions issues when I created a root share via the Unassigned Devices plugin, then connected through there. I am able to see all of my shares from within it. I moved many large files as quickly as I wanted using this.
