Hi
I have a file server windows 2008 R2 having around 18 shared drives. In a domain controller, DFS is configured targeted these drives. At least once in a week users loose connection to access the DFS namespaces. Checked all logs in File server and domain controller for any clue. Nothing seen.
During the problem, i can browse the DFS link and access the drives in the File server itself, but not in the DC or from any networked systems. I should say network is ok and i can ping, rdp to all servers including file server and DCs. From any networked system i can see the DFS targets but cannot browse the contents.
Only way to bring back the service normal is to restart the file server.
Is there anyway to pinpoint where the exact issue is? Where should i check for an hint? DFS/Application/System event viewers are all ok and doesnt show any errors related.
Thanks for any help.
