Active directory with Pfsense
-
If i wanted my network to look like this picture, have the Windows server run AD DS, DNS and DC(right now there is no AD and im using Pfsense DHCP).
What sort of configurations will i have to do on pfsense to make the client network join the domain?:
Kind Regards

Networks don't join domains, clients do. And AD doesn't really care too much about networks, as long as they can be routed to each other. You are better off letting your domain controller handle DNS and DHCP.

So DNS and DHCP and AD on windows server and set dhcp relay on pfsense?
-
No DHCP on pfSense. Let AD handle it all. A good arrangement is for your AD to handle DNS, and forward to pfSense. That way AD can resolve your local hostnames and offload what it doesn't know to pfSense resolver. You get split DNS for free if you're going to forward any servers.

thanks, you have any links for setting up dhcp relay? I dont think i have set it up correctly, having problem with clients not getting dhcp.

Yes, it looks like you might need the DHCP Relay package but I have no experience with that so I'll bow out at this point. Why are the clients on a different network than the servers?
