FREENAS 9.3 - Can't join AD
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.

See the attached image for results from host command.
By the way I did try what FreeNAS suggests.

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.

thanks anyway. I will try that.

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.

Thank you all for your help. I could finally join my domain. You would laugh if I told u that the computer object "FREENAS" was disabled in my AD! lol. After enabling it again it could join the AD with no prob.
