Re-enable AD/LDAP in CLI

[eroji]

So I'm noticing AD/LDAP gets disabled occasionally when I reboot. I have to manually go enable it again. Is there a way to enable it in command line? I want to just write a script to check if it lost the connection and re-enable it and stick that in cron.

Anything in /var/log/messages indicating why it's not starting? Which version of FreeNAS?

I am guessing at the moment it got disabled due to restart of Samba/CIFS service. However, I have iSCSI share to ESXi, which is hosting the DC server. So on reboot (or powerloss) occasionally, it may be the case that it cannot talk to the DC.

This is what I currently have in messages.

For that use case, it may be worth creating a bug report at bugs.freenas.org as it may be a startup timing issue. If you do, post the issue number here.
