We have a 2 node cluster for our file server and a File Server Role configured. All of this is done in Windows Server 2012 R2 and Server 1 and Server 2 are VM running in Hyper-V.
Server 1: GCDC-WFS01
Server 2: GCDC-WFS02
Cluster Role (File Server): WFS01
The issue we are having is when we have folder redirection configured for clients (Windows 7 and Windows 8.1). Folder redirections works great until the client loses network connectivity. When this happens, their PC basically just stops responding. If I try to open My Computer, I just get a blank screen and I cannot access local drives. If I try to open Word or Excel, it will just hang on the splash screen. As soon as I restore the network connection, everything starts working normally again. If I am not using redirected folders and I disconnect the network adapter, the PC is still usable. I can access local files, I can open Word and Excel, I can do anything locally on the PC without issues. We are redirecting the following folders: Desktop, Documents, Favorites and Pictures. Turning on offline files doesn't help the issue either.
As a test, we created another file server that was running Windows Server 2008 R2 and with that server, we have no issues.
Any ideas?
