Hi all, thanks for all the information posted in this forum so far, it has been invaluable. I currently have our FreeNAS box serving SMB shares to a set of Macs (mostly Mojave), which are bound to a Windows Server 2019 Active Directory. I would like to have the users' home directories (Library...

Trying to create an SMB shared for Windows clients on different domains. Currently the share permissions are set for domain users on the domain FreeNAS is enrolled in. Normally I use authenticated users to allow users from other domains to connect, but I am unable to add this group in the...

Hi, I installed FreeNAS 11.2-U6 from scratch and I connected it to my Active Directory domain controller. After connecting it users and groups are retrieved, but after few minutes groups are no longer listed in storage pool permission, even if wbinfo correctly shows users and groups. I get this...

I have looked at and "played" with FreeNAS over the years but, now, I have gotten quite serious, I still consider myself and newbie to FreeNAS (BSD) so, sorry for that. I am attempting to join a FreeNAS box to an existing Samba 4 Active Directory (Linux OS domain controllers) as a member...

Hi, we have a FreeNAS configured to work with our AD but we are experiencing a strange issue: depending on the day, 'getent passwd' shows a different number of users in AD. For instance, 26.XXX, 6.XXX, 5XX, etc. We have disabled the FreeNAS cache for the Active Directory, but it's still not...

Hi, I guess we have correctly joined our FreeNAS to our AD (getent passwd shows all users (more than 26000)) but in the pools permissions dropdowns they are not shown. Any idea about what may be happening? Thanks.

Hello, I am trying to set permissions for some pools using users and groups from my company's Active Directory but I don't see them in the pools permissions editor dropdowns. It's strange because the FreeNAS seems to be correctly joined to the Active Directory. For instance, 'wbinfo -t' returns...

I am building an AD environment for a small-to-mid sized company (around 20-30 users) and chose FreeNAS as the main storage, where all users will have their home directories and where all departments' directories will be saved. My question is: should I create just one dataset for the whole...

So I've had AD groups in the drop-down and have been able to add them as a mapall group for many releases up to 11.1 U6. Upgraded and now it says the groups don't exist. First clue was the dreaded DOMAIN<Group> without the backslash showing up in a mountd error on the console. If I try to add...

Hallo alle zusammen. Seit Tagen probiere ich FreeNAS 11.2 in meine AD einzubunden. Leider ohne Erfolg. Windows Systeme und auch Ubuntu und Mint lassen sich ohne Probleme einbinden. Ich habe schon sämtliche Seiten zu dem Thema im Netz durchgelesen, jedoch ohne Erfolg. In FreeNAS bekomme ich die...

Without getting into too many details, I had to build a new domain controller. The old one was trashed. The new DC is up and running with the same domain name, etc. Now I can't reconnect Freenas to Active Directory. I get an error that says MiddlewareError: Failed to reload Active Directory...

Hi Folks, I've recently been doing thorough comparison between winbind methods and SSSD methods for SID -> GID/UID translation. To say it another way, when systems (such as FreeNAS and others) join an Active Directory (AD) domain, the method options in translating Security IDs (SIDs), which...

Hi there, if have setup a AD domain with samba and after binding successfully two Macs to it I tried to bind a FreeNAS server (11.1-U6) to it as well. Unfortunately it fails to bind every time I try. The first reason was that samba rejected a simple bind so I imported the samba CA, the key...

Hi there I've lost my whole weekend trying to figure this out before the work week starts again, and have got pretty much nowhere. I've found on/off issues connecting our Freenas server to AD, and it seems to go awry whenever a restart takes place. On this particular occasion nothing seems to...

Greetings! In the many years since I gave up on Windows NT servers it's been a progression of Linux based solutions. Netwinder, Cobalt and lately SME. Much more good than bad! With W10's 1803 update I have had to start looking to move from NT style domains to AD. From my reading here I see...

I wasted a good three weeks trying to get AD integration working. It worked for a week and now stopped again. Nothing changed. I'm going to try one more thing before I buy a Synology box. Can I use SMB without a remote active directory?

I was running on freeNAS 9.2.0. I saved its config, and uploaded the config to a FreeNAS 11.1. Boots fine, all my shares are there but Active Directory permissions on the shares is not working!!!! Nobody can get to their files. Everyone is hitting the NAS as guest. Any ideas?

When I attempt to login to freenas 11.1-U5 it loads the username/password dialog with the AD Domain Account as the username and not root. But when I enter the password it says. Please enter a correct Username and password. The username is WITHOUT the Realm or WorkGroup. I am able to login...

Is it possible to use Syncthing on a share/dataset that is set up to use AD permissions? I've played around with it a little, but everything I've read seems to indicate that Syncthing has to have its own user permissions.

Hi, I was trying to join my FreeNAS (11.1u4) to the domain and was able to do everything fine. I could auth with domain credentials to my SMB share and restart the server and everything would come back up. However, I noticed when it would come back up I would get this error during boot...

Hello, i have a WS2016 AD CS/CA and a FreeNAS setup on the same network. I have succesfully gotten the FreeNAS box to join the domain. I wish to use SSL capabilities and encryption with the NAS, so I'd like it to use the ADs Certificate Authority. However, I can find no way to export the CAs...

Had FreeNAS working pretty perfectly with my domain controller. My domain controller runs on Win2012r2 in a VM on another machine. Had some trouble with the hypervisor and the VM itself, after which FreeNAS was giving LDAP errors when trying to connect. But logins on another Windows workstation...

Sorry for the lack of Google-fu, but the terms 'rebuilding', 'reconfiguring', 'redoing', and 'factory reset', etc. have a lot of different connotations in the FreeNAS world that I'm having a hard time finding what I'm asking. So I ran into some snafus that hosed up my FreeNAS for a few days. I...

Hi there, I have a FreeNAS 11.1-U1 installation that has been running rock solid for several years now on an HP Microserver. It has been AD integrated since day one, and this has always worked really well with the old Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controller that was on the network. Today I build a...
