Not supported by SBC SWe Lite in this release.

 

Joining the ASM to a domain may impact the availability of services on the ASM such as Remote Desktop by denying access to these services through security policies.

Before joining the ASM server to a domain, we recommend for you to review your domain's default security and group policies to verify that required services and access are allowed. You may need to create exceptions for the ASM host to allow the use of services such as Remote Desktop.
