- Create a DNS "A" record
- Create a FreeNAS user specifically for joining the FreeNAS server to the domain, named freenasAdmin
- Create a non-expiring password for user freenasAdmin
- Create a computer account in preparation for joining the FreeNAS server to the domain. The name should match the "A" record you created earlier.
- Before clicking OK to finalize the computer account creation, click "Change" and assign the previously created user "freenasAdmin" the ability to join the server to the domain
- NOTE: Normal users in Active Directory CAN join computers to a domain, but there's a predefined limit of to how many times (it's 10) this can happen - this may not apply to Server 2008 and above, needs verification
- Before clicking OK to finalize the computer account creation, click "Change" and assign the previously created user "freenasAdmin" the ability to join the server to the domain
- Afterwards, right click on the "freenas" computer object, and select Properties, then click on the Security tab, and give the freenasAdmin user "Full Control" and click OK.
- NOTE: If you don't see the security tab, you need to switch your view to "Advanced Features" - you can see where HERE.
