Setup:
    Host System: Dell XPS-8500 (Core i7-3770, 32GB ram, 240GB external SSD for virtual machines)
        VirtualBox
            pfSense (router) (4GB ram, 2 vNIC's, WAN = bridged adapter (DHCP), LAN = Internal Network - Static IP 10.10.10.1))
            Windows Server 2008 (Active Directory server) (3GB ram, 1 vNIC = Internal Network, Static IP 10.10.10.3)
            FreeNAS-9.1.1-RELEASE-x64 (a752d35) (8GB ram, 1 vNIC = Internal Network, Static IP 10.10.10.2)
            Windows 7 Professional x64 (2GB ram, 1 vNIC = Internal Network, DHCP)
            FreeNAS-9.2.1.4.1-RELEASE-x64 (fec915c) (8GB ram, 1 vNIC = Internal Network, Static IP 10.10.10.4)
            FreeNAS-9.2.1.5-RELEASE-x64 (80c1d35) (8GB ram, 1 vNIC =Interneal Network, Static IP 10.10.10.6)

Create Active Directory domain: example-domain.net

*****
Create FreeNAS specific user (logon name): freenas
(After thinking about this, it might be a good idea to name the user freenasAdmin or something like that. As its for documentation it might make it easier for people following the guide not to confuse it with the FreeNAS computer.)
created user named freenasAdmin, added to computer security tab in AD. --mauirixxx

    Add user to group: "Domain Admins" ??
(I would not do this as there is absolutely no need for it. The account only needs Full Control permission to the FreeNAS computer object in Active Directory. You'll need to change the AD console to show advanced features to get the security tab to show so you can add an entry for the "freenas" user you create into the security permissions on the FreeNAS computer object.)
removed user from Domain Admins, may (or may not?) need to make note about 10 computer join to directory limit of non-admin users. -- mauirixxx
