      Dear all,

      I am new to windows Server administration, I aim to have both pfsense and Windows Active Domain Directory, I want ot know is its possible to have pfsense only act as a gateway and leave DNS, DHCP, LDAP services run by windows server, if possible, how can i active this. I also want to use pfsense to manage my wireless.

      Kindly Advise

        Sure. In fact it's preferred. Just turn off the DHCP Servers in Services > DHCP Server on the interfaces served by other servers and have those servers give your domain controllers as DNS servers.

        What do you mean by "manage my wireless?"

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
