Window lost focus

Symptom:
You're working with application X but suddenly it loses focus but no new window appear frontmost.
You must click mouse to continue working with app X

Solution:
To find the culprit:
Open several (more than two) applications
Remember current order when pressing Alt+Tab
For example, pressing Alt+Tab from app X will switch to app Y
Now, while app X is in focus, wait until it loses focus again
When it happens, press Alt+Tab
If the next app has changed then you've found the app causing problem
Sometimes an unexpected app is the culprit, like the wireless adapter config window.

FreeNAS Active Directory Integration

Installing FreeNAS to USB stick (new and simpler way)
If you want to reformat the USB device in Windows OS, the USB key will get just 942.51 MB available, the rest unable to be formatted (even if you try to eliminate the remaining partitions).
If this occurs, do not panic because there is a solution. With software for Managing Disk Partitions this situation can be easily resolved.
In our case we used MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. Through such software, you can delete the partitions fails through Windows Disk Management and format the Pen. Guarantee that is "like new". You can download the free software mentioned in: http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html.

Things to be cautious about:
For those that care, in the AD configuration window there is a field that says "hostname" This does not refer to the hostname of the DC, it wants a hostname you want FreeNAS to use in your AD.

I put in the hostname of my DC out of reflex, it destroyed my DC and required a call to Microsoft to repair. A very expensive lesson on my part. I'd rather not have anyone else repeat it.
