Unable to find domain controllers?

[NightNetworks]

I am trying to add my FreenNAS box to my Active Directory so I can use AD users for CIFS authentication... However after entering in the domain information (see below) I get an error stating that the FreeNAS box is unable to find domain controllers for nightnetwork.net.

Active Directory Settings on FreeNAS:
Domain Name >> nightnetworks.net
Domain Account Name >> FreeNAS (have added the account to the domain admins group)

I ahve confirmed that I can ping the DC (dc01.nightnetworks.com) from the FreeNAS Box and that the FreenNAS box can be pinged from the DC.

Hostname On FreeNAS >> freenas
Domain On FreeNAS >> nightnetworks.net
Defualt Gateway >> 192.168.1.1
Nameserver 1 >> 192.168.1.1 (I have also tired setting the nameserver to the actual AD server as well, but that has not helped either)

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I got this resolved...

so what did you do to resolve it? Also, when doing anything with Active Directory and FreeNAS, always point the DNS settings in FreeNAS to the DNS server that's working with your AD server.

Sorry for the delay...

I ended up changing a couple of things...

- Changed DNS Server on the FreeNAS box to point to the DC (192.168.1.17) instead of the the firewall (192.168.1.1)
- Then I rebooted the FreeNAS

Honestly think that rebooting the FreeNAS box was the biggest thing that helped resolve the issue. I dont think that the DNS changes were actually taking fully without the reboot. Now that I know it was as simple as rebooting it was actually pretty easy to get it configured. Only other issues that I have came across is that it seems after a period of time mapped network drives on PC's/Server's stop working and require that the PC/Server be rebooted. I had not had this issue prior to adding enabling the Active Directory service so I feel that someone how this issue is related, but have been unable to determine that yet. I suspect that updating the FreeNAS to the newest version could help resolve this issue along with a couple of GUI issues that I am having.
