Curious as to why SMB broadcasts by Samba on FreeNAS are not discovered by Windows devices. Even within my AD Domain Controller WINS server I had to add FreeNAS as a static entry because WINS never learns that FreeNAS exists on the same vlan/subnet. I have recently put FreeNAS on a single VLAN with a newly built Active Directory domain controller to do some single-sign on testing with AD after failing to get Open Directory and FreeNAS work authenticate after a year and a half. So even adding an AD DC I otherwise have no use for to the mix seems much, I just want single-sign on and freenas to co-exist and function yet the AD server never even discovers the servers in WINS which is disturbing. I added the static entry but windows devices still have issues and wont always connect or even find freenas servers, I have 2 on that subnet now, one virtual and one physical server.
OSX devices always connect via SMB using the finder 'connect' button and windows works if I manually add it, most of the time. But if its broadcasting why is it not picked up and seen like all else ?? I've changed versioning and all I know to do, hoping someone knows the answer or fix. Between both Apple and Microsoft kerberos setups I can get both to work consistently, but consistently FreeNAS has issues with both. FreeNAS does prefer and work better on MS AD side by far having to give up on Open Directory binding and kerberos altogether. Will bind, but authentication and access to files breaks never to work properly until unbind happens.
thanks in advance
