Backup Exec Authentication to DR4000. LDAP Possible rather than AD?
I had an install technician on site about two weeks ago to setup our new DR4000 but we ultimately did not succeed because the device was not joined to our company domain. Our intention was not to put the device on the production network but to keep it on a private network where it would only communicate with our Be Media servers. Both Media servers could see and mount the containers we setup and I could write to them but Backup Exec would get an authentication error when I tried to setup a Backup To Disk folder. The technician said that this was because the DR4000 was not on the domain and all of his previous installs had been with DR4000's that were part of a domain. He did suggest that we could use LDAP for authentication on the private network. My question is has anyone done this and what has been your experience? Thanks in advance.

Not sure about setting about LDAP authentication, but you could try to create a user on the DR4000 with the same username as Backup Exec Service Account and Backup Exec System Logon Account. Also keep the password the same and then try to create the B2D folder.
Have you already tried to add the DR4000 account in Backup Exec and see if that allows you to create the folder.
