1. Run CMD Prompt in administrator mode. 
2. Type: "powercfg -requests"
3. Check and see if anything is in use. If it is, tell your system to override it using this command where 'ASUS Xonar DG Audio Device' was the driver name from the first command: 
4. powercfg -REQUESTSOVERRIDE DRIVER "ASUS Xonar DG Audio Device" SYSTEM
5. Now type powercfg -requestsoverride to verify your devices got added to the exception list.
6. Make sure there's no waketimers.  powercfg -waketimers As you can see, on Windows 10 there's this default one.. even though in my power cfg they're set to off.
7. Search Task Scheduler
8. Navigate to Task Scheduler Library\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot
   Note: Reboot is just a file, but you need to go inside all those folders
9. Right Click Properties then click Conditions
10. Uncheck Wake the computer to run this task
11. Beware... Windows update might re-enable it automatically. When you type powercfg -waketimers though, it should say there are none now. 
12. Another thing to check....
13. Search: Local Group Policy Editor (you can launch gpedit.msc)
14. Navigate to: Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Update
15. Double click on: Enabling Windows Update Power Management to automatically wake up the system to install scheduled updates and set it to "Disabled"
16. powercfg /devicequery wake_armed
For everything in that list that isn't your keyboard or mouse, disable it like
powercfg /devicedisablewake "Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC-8260"

1. Believing the cheapest auto shipping quote is the best

There are many corrupt or non trustworthy companies in the car transport industry. The car transport industry as a whole has got a bad reputation from these companies. Many of these non-reputable car transporters will “low ball” auto shipping quotes in order to get a customer’s business. The customer will see these quotes as the best value for their dollar. However, the customer is unaware that these types of car transport companies have no real intention of shipping their vehicle at the stated price. They now have bid the vehicle too low to get it moved in a timely fashion. After the vehicle has not moved for an extended period of time, they will call the customer back with some excuse (fuel prices have went up, driver is asking for more money, we made a mistake on the bid, etc.). They will tell the customer they need more money to move the vehicle. This is called back ending the customer. This is the same method that bad construction contractors use on clients. They bid the job low and then tell the client there have been some unexpected expenses, which raises the cost. Using car transport companies like this will usually end up costing you more than a reliable company that had a higher starting quote.

2. Signing a contract with an auto transport company

Most customers do not realize the best car transporters do not use contracts. Yes, you heard correctly. In the car transport industry, contracts are used to protect the company, not the customer. The primary purpose of a contract in this industry is to excuse the company of any damage to vehicles and to allow them to keep a customers deposit even if the car is never shipped. Yes, they want to keep your money even if they did not ship your car. This problem can be avoided by understanding the deposit process described in mistake number three.

3. Giving a deposit when you place your vehicle shipping order

In most cases, if a car transport company is asking for a deposit when you place your order, they are not a good company. These same companies will ask you to sign a contract with them. In the fine print of the contract, it will say the deposit you have just given them is non refundable even if your vehicle is never moved. However, there are exceptions to the rule. There are reputable car transport companies that collect the full vehicle shipping price, not a deposit, when a customer places an order. Another acceptable method is to collect a deposit, not when the automobile transport order is placed, but when a pickup date has been scheduled.

4. Selecting a car transport company without doing research

The easiest way to not waste time or money when choosing a car transport company is to do some research. If you have a friend or family member that has shipped cars before, ask them for a referral. If you are buying a car from a dealer, they will most likely have a car transporter they use on a regular basis. If you are moving your home, ask your home movers who they use for vehicle shipping. All of these referral sources are good methods to find a reputable car transport company. The Better Business Bureau also is a good place to find a solid company. There are a couple of automobile transport review sites on the web that allow customers to rate their experiences with car transport companies. These websites are often owned by companies that have a vested interest in other for profit auto transport industries. The best external, non partial review site is the BBB.

*NOTE* This is my newb guide. I'm a new too! If you don't trust anything here, look it up in the WIKI!!!! After multiple installs and multiple headaches I decided to write this for myself and others ;)  Be aware this isn't the most secure. It's using a user with full permissions and no passwords.

• Buy the right hardware. Test it to make sure it works. (HDD's, ECC RAM, ETC)
• Installing and upgrading FreeNAS (Make sure your USB drive is greater than 8 GB). On FreeNas 9.3 you'll need either 2 USB drives/cd drive... or a motherboard with IPMI to mount the boot image.
• To fiddle with BIOS or the Console Setup you'll need a motherboard with IPMI (the best case scenario), a cpu with integrated graphics, or a cheap GPU. IPMI allows you to just control it via your desktop/laptop computer. You set up the BMC for IPMI in the BIOS. If you don't have a display, you can type "arp -a" in the windows command prompt to see if the IPMI IP Address is listed. Then just put that into your address bar and log in. Your motherboard should have information in the manual for it too.

• Your Freenas IP will be listed at the bottom. If you want to change that just go into Network Interfaces. You'll select no to reset, no for DHCP, and then enter in the ip and subnet.
• Open up your web browser on your client machine and enter in the FreeNAS IP and give it a Password.
• Once logged in, Click System, Settings, Advanced and check these and hit OK.
• Click Email. Enter in the Outgoing mail server, check SMTP AUTH, put in username/password. 
• Click network, enter in the gateway / name servers.
• Open up account--> users --> double click on root, enter email/password. 
• Add user media
• Add a group named 'media' with Group ID: 816. (this is what the plugins are set up as)
• Click storage, ZFS Volume Manager. Give it a volume name.(i used 'v1') Click the + sign. Give it your desired volume layout. (RAID Z1, RAID Z2, etc). Click add volume.
• Click the volume you just created and click add dataset. 
• Click Jails, Configuration. v1 is my volume name.
• Click Plugins, Available.. and Install transmission, Plex, CouchPotato, Sickrage. You can edit their IP Addresses through the jail interface afterwards. 
• Once finished, click the install tab and make sure they're on. 
• Next click the Services tab, turn on CIFS, and SSH (if needed).
• Click the wrench next to CIFS to enter guest account=media, Allow Empty Password = checked
• Click Sharing, Add Windows (CIFS) Share. 
• Now go to your windows explorer, type in \\freenas and you see your CIFS share. Make sure you can create and delete things within it. Sometimes your DNS ip will change and you'll have to update the HOST IP. You can just put '192.168.1' but then everything on the network can access the share.
• Under \\freenas feel free to map the network drive so it's more accessible.
• In your media share create 4 folders: Movies, TV, Downloads, Torrents. With a TV/Movies folder in the Downloads folder. This is where transmission will be downloading the respective movie/tv files. 
• Next, go to the jails. You'll want to add storage for each plugin jail.  Here's the source/destinations. Just make sure it is mounted. [checked]
• Next open up shell on the left menu. We're gonna be giving permissions to each folder in the CIFS share. chown -R media:media /mnt/v1/media/*  [This gives the media user permission to the CIFS folders]
• Once those are added you can start setting up the individual plugin jails by going to the JAIL IP:PORT.  Or you can click the plugins on the left and then have it launch it for you. (except transmission). 

[How-To] Giving Plugins Write Permissions to Your Data

• Plugin -- UID -- Data-Directory list. If you ever have to re-install you can backup the /var/db/PLUGIN folder and restore it after an install.
• If deleting plugin and re-installing make sure to : rm -r /var/run/PLUGIN
• For CP I had to remove windows ACLS. (When you look at the directory, ls -l if the permissions have '+" signs on them it means they're enabled. To remove them recursively you can run this command: find . -type d -exec setfacl -b {} \;
• For CP I had to run these group commands listed in the link above as well... 
pw groupadd -n media -g 816
pw groupmod media-m media

• Open the Sickrage command line and type: chown -R media:media /usr/pbi/sickrage-amd64/share/sickrage
• Go to search settings, torrent search and set it up like so.
• Check your search providers
• Click post-processing and set it up like so as well as episode naming.
• Now just add shows. 
• My quality settings.(I only want to keep 1080p)

Optional Settings: 

• S.M.A.R.T. Monitoring Settings
• S.M.A.R.T Tests

Helpful Commands:

- To change user/group of a folder/file:
