I set up FreeNAS and I am able to access it from the web interface create the volumes, but I am having trouble mapping a drive to it from the 2008 server. So I have read on the FreeNAS forums where it has issues, so now I am downgrading to 7.2. Any tips, tricks, or hints you folks can offer are greatly appreciated.
My Windows 2008 server is running Active Directory, AD Integrated DNS, DHCP, and print services. I have not set up user accounts or computer accounts yet, as I want my infrastructure to be in place before I start connecting clients. The Server set up is an Intel 3.2 ghz processor (32 bit) with 4 gigs of RAM, which 2008 enterprise sees all of. 1 400 gig SATA boot drive, mirrored to another matching drive. Then I have 2 SATA RAID cards, each card has 4 400 gb Hard drives in a striped set up on the hardware. but then the 2 1.4tb volumes those create are mirrored in windows.
I figure I need to set up a computer account on the windows server, call it FreeNAS_001, and also set up a user account called FreeNAS_001 with a password that does not change and give it admin privileges.
Any other suggestions?
