Hi All,
Been working on this for several weeks now and wondering if I've missed something basic.
Head Office with 3 Branch Offices
W2K8R2 servers as DC's in each office
Running
Domain Functional Level - Windows Server 2008 R2
Forest Functional Level - Windows Server 2003
I've had this problem SINCE introducing a second DC Windows Server 2012 at head office.
Users at head office experience long lag times to open files ONLY when WS2012 server is online.
I've created alternate login scripts using NetBIOS type mappings (\\Server\DFS) for those users afflicted with this issue
and that immediatley fixes the problem.
Since we don't use WINS I thought that the problem might be resolved by enabling the dfsdnsconfig
as per the following thread.
Enabling DFS to use Fully Qualified Names (FQDN)
I'd appreciate any comments or advice as I have little hair left.
thx.
