FREENAS 9.3 - Can't join AD
Posted on 2016-08-26
Hi everyone. I'm going crazy trying to join my FREENAS server to windows 2008 AD service. I've tried almost everything with no luck. I always get this message:
PS.
My local domain is: innovateperu.local

Unable to find domain controllers for innovateperu.local.and the log shows:
FreeNAS_ActiveDirectory_BaI have attached some screenshots of my FREENAS configurationse.get_SRV _records: no SRV records for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.innov ateperu.lo cal found, fail!

Check your Active Directory DNS zones to make sure the MSDCS folder/Forward Lookup Zone is there and that there is a valid SRV record under _TCP.DC folder.

Have you considered upgrading to the latest stable release (9.10.1 has probably been out for a few months now).
There are quite a few AD joining bugs in 9.3.

In your first screenshot enable verbose logging. This will log under /var/logs/messages. Does anything come up with errors? What happens if you run:
Also have a look at their troubleshooting KB on not being able to join the domain.

I would also look at spinning up 2 new VM's. 1 running FreeNAS 9.3 and 1 running the latest release. Can either of these join the domain?
host -t srv _ldap._tcp.innovateperu.local

Yeah, I would definitely try spin up a new VM to test joining a newer version to your AD environment. I can only assume its some sort of bug in FreeNAS 9.3.
I would suggest you to create a computer object with "FREENAS" name in some OU and on this OU give create computer object object permissions to FREENAS computer object. I think this will work.
freenas as a computer object exists from the beginning. That was the first thing I did when trying to join it to my domain
However as mentioned earlier, did you add permissions on the OU where FREENAS computer object exists.
