    Hello colleagues,

    I would like everyone's help to resolve a doubt for enriching my knowledge in pfSense.

    I have a domain running under W2k3, the main server I have running Active Directory and DNS Server.
    I have a pfSense doing the work of DHCP server.

    My goal is to leave the pfSense serving internal DNS and DHCP.

    current structure
    domain CM2.local

    -Domain Controller (Win) - IP 192.168.0.254
    -DNS-Server (Win) - IP 192.168.0.254
    -DHCP server (pfSense) - IP 192.168.0.253

    desired structure
    domain CM2.local

    -Domain Controller (Win) - IP 192.168.0.254
    -DNS-Server (pfSense) - IP 192.168.0.253
    -DHCP server (pfSense) - IP 192.168.0.253

    If possible show you step by step what to fill in the wizard.

      Hei Reginaldo Barreto,

      You might know this already, but just wanted to say that DNS is such an important and integrated component of Active Directory, that I would highly recommend you to keep using the AD controller as DNS server. Also see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc726034.aspx (which explains the advantages of using AD-integrated DNS).

      If you should still choose to use pfSense as your local DNS server, I see two options:

      • Create and maintain all Active Directory-related DNS records on pfSense to make sure your domain members are able to locate the domain controllers. A quick google-search returned this: http://searchwindowsserver.techtarget.com/tip/Basic-DNS-records-for-Active-Directory-DCs , not sure if that includes all requirements.

      • Setup pfSense to use your domain controllers as the DNS server.

      Support the project by buying a Gold Subscription at https://portal.pfsense.org
      Running pfSense on SuperMicro A1SRI-2758F with ESXi 5.5
