It isn't a prerequisite or necessary. I've configured multiple FreeNAS servers as AD domain members. Your procedure isn't required.
OK So at this point I am starting to understand this much better. I have scrapped the part of the thread that explained how I had given SeDiskOperatorPrivilege to AD user/group through username mapping because, thanks to you and all this experimentation, I realize that is a bad idea and not necessary, and I don't want someone else to repeat the same mistake.
The only thing left that is confusing me at this point is why I can only access the share from \\freenas.local instead of \\freenas or \\freenas.domain.com. I have avahi turned off, and both \\freenas and FQDN used to work when I had username mapping set up.
