      You should verify that your system has the latest available updates. Visit support.quest.com/dr-series, and navigate to the Software Downloads page for your specific DR Series model to download the latest upgrade file. Before upgrading, you should exit the Configuration Wizard and then proceed to the DR Series system GUI Support > SoftwareUpgrade page. See the topic “Upgrading the DR Series System Software” in the “Support, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting” chapter later in this guide for detailed instructions on upgrading the software.

    When you click Next on the final page of the Configuration Wizard, a dialog box is displayed confirming that you have completed the initial configuration of your system.
  4. In the dialog box, click OK. The Dashboard page is displayed.

Registering with the Support Portal

You can now register your DR Series system with the Quest Support Portal by using the DR Series system CLI system --support_agent set of commands. The registered DR Series system will collect certain information that it will transmit to Quest Support. Such information can include operational statistics, performance metrics, diagnostic information and configuration settings of the DR Series system. This enables support personnel to monitor and capture information to proactively help troubleshoot issues with your system.

For more information about using the --support_agent set of commands, see the DR Series System Command Line Interface Reference Guide.

Configuring Active Directory settings

You can easily join the DR Series system to your Microsoft Active Directory Services (ADS) domain. This topic describes how to configure Active Directory (AD) settings for the DR Series system, which requires that you direct your DR Series system to join or leave a domain that contains a Microsoft Active Directory Service (ADS). Instructions are provided below to join an ADS domain or to leave an ADS domain. When you join the DR Series system to an ADS domain, this disables the Network Time Protocol (NTP) service and instead uses the domain-based time service.

To configure the DR Series system for a domain using ADS, complete the following steps:

  1. In the left navigation menu, click System Configuration > Active Directory.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • On the Active Directory page, click the Join link.
    • On the Action menu, click Join.
  3. Enter the following AD logon information:
    • Domain Name (FQDN)—Enter a fully qualified domain name for the ADS; for example, AD12.acme.com. (This is a required field.)

      NOTE: Supported domain names are limited to 64 characters in length and can only consist of a combination of A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and three special characters: a dash (-), a period (.), and an underscore (_).

    • Username—Enter a valid user name that meets the user name guidelines for the ADS. (This is a required field.)

      NOTE: Supported user names are limited to 64 characters in length and can only consist of a combination of A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and three special characters: a dash (-), a period (.), and an underscore (_).
