Which credentials must be entered into the S-Series GUI when joining the Active Directory domain?

Question

Options

• Athe credentials of the account (created by the S-Series) on the Active Directory server when the
• Bthe credentials of a privileged account on the Active Directory server
• Cthe credentials of any account on the Active Directory server
• Dthe S-Series administrative account

• B
  94% (32)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Joining a device to an Active Directory (AD) domain requires authorization from someone who has the right to add computers to the domain, which means a privileged account (such as a Domain Administrator or an account delegated with "Join computers to the domain" rights) must be used - making B correct.

• A is wrong because the S-Series doesn't pre-create an account on AD; the join process itself creates the computer object, requiring prior authorization.
• C is wrong because ordinary AD accounts lack the permissions to add new computer objects to the domain - that action is restricted to privileged users.
• D is wrong because the S-Series admin account is local to the device itself and has no authority over the AD domain infrastructure.

Memory tip: Think of it like checking into a hotel - you need the manager's key (privileged AD account) to add a new room (computer) to the system, not a regular guest card or the room itself.
