This command creates an Active Directory configuration record. After running this command, run activedirectory list to obtain the ID of the configuration record, and then run activedirectory modify to join the cluster to the Active Directory server using the ID you obtained.
Important
Views exposed as SMB shares will work only if the cluster is joined to Active Directory with LDAP configuration of the same Active Directory server. This includes views that are exposed only to SMB and multiprotocol views that are exposed to both SMB and NFS.
