[Samba] DFS not working w/ fully.qualified.sub.domain
Hi: I've got a samba/DFS server configured that works fine under it's original name, but I'm getting booted out of that DNS domain, into a subdomain. All my (WinXP) clients have drives mapped to names like \\server.domain.com\dfsroot. If I browse to the path, \\server.domain.com\dfsroot, everything works. I can access the shares pointed to via the dfs links But, now the network is being re-architected... The clients will be in multiple IP subnets, and the server needs to be moved to a subdomain of domain.com. I configured a sub.domain.com on my DNS server. I can browse via the new name: \\server.sub.domain.com\dfsroot, and I can see all the links, but when I rt-click, and view properties on any of these links, the DFS tab is missing. If I rt-click/view-properties on a dfs-link using the old server name, I can see the DFS tab again. How do I get the DFS tab back? How do I make the DFS links work when the DFS server is in a subdomain? - Other info: clicking on a DFS link gives me the error message: \\server.sub.domain\dfsroot\remoteshare refers to a location that is unavailable. I don't know if this is a server-side issue, or a client side issue. I get the same results when trying to access the DFS links from a windows 2003 machine. An nt4 machine will refuse to talk to the samba server on the new name at ALL. It gives a message The network path was not found when trying to browse the path \\server.sub.domain.com. Is this some feature of windows clients? Is this a known problem? Does anyone know if the same behavior exists when trying to browse a DFS share on a win'2000 server when it has its host-name in a sub-domain? -Bill -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
