Hi,
I am having trouble with my latest FreeNAS build. I am using build 9.10-STABLE-201606072003. The build was smooth, I have successfully joined my FreeNAS box to my Windows 2008 R2 domain. My problem is that some AD users are not visible when changing permissions in the GUI.
I appreciate there are other post covering very similar topics, however in the vast majority people experience issues retrieving AD information using wbinfo and getent. I see domain users just fine when running wbinfo -u, I see domain groups when executing wbinfo -g. Getent displays AD information as expected.
I have compared one of the AD accounts which I can see with one I cannot, specifically looking at security settings - there's nothing I can see which should affect this. Unless I have missed something I couldn't see anything in any documentation about having to do anything specific before AD user objects will appear.
I'm obviously far from a FreeNAS expert, but short of some fairly fundamental issues I had with the first FreeNAS box I have built, the others have all gone smoothly.
Couple of further points worth mentioning:
Does anyone please have any suggestions as to why I see some AD users/groups and not others? I'm a bit desperate at this point. Having some AD authentication is better than none, but as this is (or will be) a mirrored copy of another FreeNAS server, I want to make sure all permissions are identical so as to allow easy failover when needed.
Many thanks,
Jason

Couple of further points worth mentioning:
- New AD user accounts I create ARE visible.
- Rebuilding the cache hasn't made any difference, sadly.
- I have monitored /var/log/messages for errors during the domain join but there are none at all.
- I have compared smb4.conf with one from another working FreeNAS server (same build), no issues there.
- Compared all networking, storage, services and share information with a working FreeNAS server, no differences I can see.
- I reinstalled FreeNAS, although admittedly I did restore my config as opposed to starting from scratch.
