Hello,
I have tried creating at least 2 dozen DFS namespaces, none which have worked as needed. Here is an overview:
On my "DFS Server", I create a domain based namespace. No problems during creation. We will call this "namespace".
I add a new folder to the namespace, and assign it two (2) folder targets. I don't get any errors and things "look" good. Both targets are shared properly and have the correct permissions. We will call these "target1" and "target2".
So, the naming convention is: DOMAIN.AD.MD\namespace - which SHOULD contain "target1" and "target2".
On the DFS server itself, I run the \\DOMAIN.AD.MD\namespace and it displays only "target1"
On my workstation (which is part of the domain/AD) I run the \\DOMAIN.AD.MD\namespace and it only displays "target2"
As mentioned earlier, both "shares/targets" have the exact same permissions, which are correct. I've even taken off all permissions on the targets with the same results.
I've tried both standalone and domain based namespaces, both with the same problem.
See these screenshots for any clarification:
On the DFS "server" itself:
On my workstation:
I've seen many similar posts, which none seem to give an answer or a fix of any sort (unless I overlooked it).
Any help or guidance anyone can give is appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam
