      @crismarcul Yes, I would also like this option. It is essential.

        @crismarcul Authenticate via AD or somthing else? I remember seeing before that the auth via AD code in XCP-ng itself was removed to require use of XO instead but I'm not 100% sure.

          @michael.manley The "Join Domain" option in the Users tab.
          Keeping this will be very useful.

            Hi, with this modification on MainWindow.cs in

                    private List<TabPage> GetNewTabPages()
            

            adding this at the end:

                       if (!multi && !SearchMode && (isPoolSelected || isHostSelected && isHostLive))
                            newTabs.Add(TabPageAD);
            

            the AD tab appears:

            I test this modification and is working.

            Maybe @michael.manley can update this and the modification to support attach iSCSI SR without error with gfs2

                GFS2 isn't supported in XCP-ng at all, and is only supported in Citrix Hypervisor, the fact that it works is pure chance.

                  @DustinB I think I expressed myself poorly; the iSCSI SR creation test does not remove the gfs2 check and does not allow it to be created as LVM.

                  In LVMoISCSI.cs if you set:

                  var performSecondProbe = Helpers.KolkataOrGreater(Connection) && !Helpers.FeatureForbidden(Connection, Host.RestrictCorosync);
                  

                  The SR can be created.

                      Sorry to ask, but I can not find any code/compiled program to download on this page.
                      I find this github page not user friendly at all - maybe fine for developers, not for users. Maybe I just dont see it...

                      Could you please shed some light on it, that I can download it?
                      Thanks for your help!

                        @JBlessing At the bottom of the release page (https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases/tag/v25.04) are the links to download either the MSI installer or a Zip file containing the entire application (if you want a portable package).

                          @kagbasi-ngc Thanks for your help. I found the culprit: Brightcloud Webfilter was blocking parts of the github site - I was wondering why it looked so .. weird...
                          My fault not checking it beforehand.

                              adding this at the end:

                              This will add the tab back in XCP-ng Center but I don't think it works in XCP-ng 8.3.
                              I just upgraded from 8.2.1 to 8.3 when I logged into XCP-ng Center I saw the error message

                              I haven't figured out what to do yet. None of the users can log into XCP-ng Center using their Active Directory credentials and only root can log in.

                              EDIT: Actually winbind wasn't even used in XCP-ng 8.2.1, I'm not sure why this service started up in 8.3.

                              XCP-ng 8.2.1# systemctl status winbind.service

                              But I can see that windbind is used for XenServer 8.4 https://docs.xenserver.com/en-us/xenserver/8/users
                              Anyone got suggestions on how to get AD authentication working with XCP-ng Center again? Or add users manaully?

                              SOLUTION:
                              What I found after following the steps in the in the XenServer page above is that if I disable AD Authentication then re-enable it then it will work.

                              To Disable AD Authentication:
                              xe pool-disable-external-auth
                              
                              Enable AD Authentication:
                              xe pool-enable-external-auth auth-type=AD service-name=full-qualified-domain config:user=username config:pass=password
                              

                              Without the Users tab in XCP-ng Center, CLI command is needed to add or remove users. Refer to the XenServer page above.

                              xe subject-add subject-name=entity_name
