So what exactly does Joining the Domain or using LDAP accomplish in DSM 4.0? It appears to be worthless in DSM 4.0. Unless there is some hidden secret that was left out of the documentation, it appears that Domain/LDAP usage is nothing more than a pipe dream.
2012-03-29 Update: So, LDAP is bust on a Microsoft domain. Joining the 1512 to the domain does work, however it took over 32 hours after connecting before I could do anything with it. Now I am able to assign domain users to resources and they can connect.
