I don't speak Network Administrator

[rgiles18]

A layman would think that Integrating with Active Directory could be done without the pain of a root canal. The layman would be wrong. Every article and user guide is written in Network Admin and not English. I just want to integrate FreeNAS with an Administrator User on a domain. Why does it have to be so hard?

I've never seen a layman who had an opinion on the matter.

Laymen shouldn't be messing with Active Directory

If you have a domain, then have your domain admin do it. If you don't have a domain admin then you shouldn't be running AD. The AD integration really is quite simple and it's even easier in 9.3.

It's time to abandon FreeNAS for a more user friendly Network Share.

Yeah, you might want to stick with Windows

Windows home server is a good alternative. FreeNAS is tremendously powerful but you have to be willing to put in the time to learn it.

By the way, this isn't "NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR" language. It is general System Admin language. If you don't understand it, I would hate to be in your shoes when your AD environment goes tits up.

FreeNAS is very friendly. It's just picky about who it considers "friends".

@rgiles18 please tell your doctor, that your heart surgery should be done by a plumber. because you surely think it is that easy and non problematic

if you do not understand the manual and concept behind servers you are a fool if you complain because of your lack of IT knowledge.

I have switched to Windows Server 2012 r2 Storage Spaces. It works without all the drama.

Glad Windows Server 2012 R2 works for you. Good luck in your endeavors sir!
