 You can use the NetApp account overview page to confirm the Active Directory account type. There are three values for AD type:
 
-* **NA**: Existing NetApp account which supports only one AD configuration per subscription and region. The AD  configuration is not shared with other NetApp accounts in the subscription.
-* **MultiAD**: Account supports one AD configuration in each NetApp account in the subscription.

-The multiple Active Directory accounts feature enables each NetApp account within a subscription to have its own AD connection. Once enabled, you can select the desired AD connection when you create an [SMB volume](azure-netapp-files-create-volumes-smb.md), a [NFSv4.1 Kerberos volume](configure-kerberos-encryption.md), or a [dual-protocol volume](create-volumes-dual-protocol.md)
+With this feature, each NetApp account within an Azure subscription can have its own AD connection. Once configured, the AD connection of the NetApp account is used when you create an [SMB volume](azure-netapp-files-create-volumes-smb.md), a [NFSv4.1 Kerberos volume](configure-kerberos-encryption.md), or a [dual-protocol volume](create-volumes-dual-protocol.md). That means, Azure NetApp Files supports more than one AD connection per Azure subscription when multiple NetApp accounts are used.
 
 >[!NOTE]
->If a subscription has both [Shared Active Directory](#shared_ad) and Multiple Active Directory features enabled, its existing accounts still share the AD configuration. Any new NetApp accounts created on the subscription can use their own AD configurations. You can confirm your configuration in your account overview page in the [AD type](#netapp-accounts-and-active-directory-type) field.

-The Shared AD feature enables all NetApp accounts to share an Active Directory (AD) connection created by one of the NetApp accounts that belong to the same subscription and the same region. For example, using this feature, all NetApp accounts in the same subscription and region can use the common AD configuration to create an [SMB volume](azure-netapp-files-create-volumes-smb.md), a [NFSv4.1 Kerberos volume](configure-kerberos-encryption.md), or a [dual-protocol volume](create-volumes-dual-protocol.md).
