The only systems that are always powered on on my network are my Freenas box and my Linksys router, so I either need to get Active Directory running on them as a standalone service, or I'll need to replace Freenas with Windows server. I'd love to keep Freenas, so if there is a way to get my Windows 7 workstations to authenticate to it, I'll give it a try.
If this is not possible. Then I'll have to build a Windows server to be my file server/seed box and AD server.
