About
This post is a collaboration between bigphil and mauirixxx of the FreeNAS forum pooling our knowledge together of making FreeNAS work with the various flavors of Active Directory, in order to use Windows based permissions on files hosted on the FreeNAS server.
Tested
This how-to has been tested with the following software releases:
- FreeNAS v9.1.1-RELEASE-x64 (a752d35)
- FreeNAS v9.2.1.4.1-RELEASE-x64 (fec915c)
- FreeNAS v9.2.1.5-RELEASE-x64 (80c1d35)
- Microsoft Windows Server 2008
Assumptions
- This how-to assumes you already have a working Active Directory installation.
- Active Directory support is beyond the scope of this document.
- We assume you have the required access to create users in Active Directory, as well as access to create the necessary records required in DNS.
- We assume you are using a fresh install of FreeNAS.
- We assume you have a current backup of your Active Directory setup.
- We are not responsible for YOU breaking YOUR Active Directory (not that you will, but "stuff" happens).
