Re: [Samba] DFS question
Scott: The approach that you're taking seems reasonable. The syntax looks good. If one of the servers goes down for an extended time, the clients that authenticated to it might have to logout/login again after their DFS cache times out. -Bill Scott Mayo wrote: Was wondering if someone could tell me if this is correct.

[Samba] Dfs Question
Hi all, I'm trying to implement a DFS scenario, but i'm not sure if it possible. What I would like to do is something like this. We have a central office where a PDC is to be located, and other offices with one BDC server each. The Domain uses Samba+LDAP. I want to create a \\netfiles share with dfs links to the other offices. Something like \\netfiles\centraloffice \\netfiles\officeA \\netfiles\officeB My question: Can I create a structure where every server can act as \\netfiles, and in case the local server goes down, the clients go and try to connect to another \\netfiles service providing server? I think this is called DFS DOMAIN ROOT by Microsoft. Is this possible? Will it be possible in a near future? Thanks in advance for any help.
