I am using Windows Sever 2008. I have 2 Buffalo Linkstation and there are same problem. Cannot to join Active Directory Domain

Failed to join Active Directory Domain. Please confirm the Active Directory Domain setting information, Administrator user name and password.

I sure that all the input is correct. And the admin account, I tried to use the server computer admin account and other admin with domain admin right. I think there is a permission problem in the server. But I dont know how to check and solve it. Any idea?

The setting page:

I'm looking to configure DNS naming on my WZR-HP-G300NH router. How would one go about doing this? I have found the documentation for Dnsmasq here, and the place where it appears you can configure DNSMasq is located in the WZR-HP-G300NH configuration Web interface under Services->Services->DNSMasq->Additional DNSMasq Options

Does that textarea edit /etc/hosts or something?

Suppose I want to call my local domain, leerdomain.local, and I want to assign a name like "wp" to a static ipaddress on my local lan.

Router Model: WZR-HP-G300NH Firmware Version: DD-WRT v24SP2-EU-US (08/19/10) std

I've been tasked with restoring a RAID from a failed Buffalo NAS. the NAS box has failed, but our understanding at this point is that the drives are still functioning. I believe that Buffalo's NAS was using mdraid+Linux in a RAID5 of 4x1TB drives. my understanding of mdadm is that it's not smart enough to figure out the correct striping of the drives by itself.

I've seen a DEFCON presentation on "Rebuilding RAID By Sight and Sound", so I know some techniques for manually determining the order if I can get access to the drives. I'm not sure how to go about working on these in a non-destructive way. I'm not sure I can even get access to 4TB of scratch space for storing working images.

I'll update as I go/research, but some pointers on how to proceed would be appreciated!

I have a buffalo link station LS 500 GL and it's in the network so around 6 of us access it as a common storage. I would like to know if this link station can be accessed from outside this network via web browser. It wil be great if there is an option as it will help if someone is out of town and if they want to access it. Please let me know.

I'm looking at virtualising some of our infrastructure in order to allow for more resiliance and future expandability.

We have successfully virtualised on single servers with Direct Attached Storage and are now looking for a more future proof solution using a high powered host (or two) and a SAN (or two).

I'm thinking that the host machine will probably be an HP ProLiant DL360 G7 (all of our exisiting infrastructure is HP).

Unfortunately, I am new to the world of SANs. From what I can see, the Buffalo Terrastation III is all I would need in order to setup an iSCSI SAN for VMWare to use. However, I'm a little reticent to go that way as it's a bit too "entry level" for my liking. In particular I would be very keen for more redundancy, power, networking, etc. I'm also very aware that you "get what you pay for".

Therefore, can anyone reccommend equivalents from the big boys? HP/IBM? I have searched high and low on the HP site and seen many options but am struggling to work out if it is all the hardware I will need. Some options appear to need separate controllers from disk enclosures, etc.
