Hi
I have the following setup
dc1.domain.local(192.168.1.11) - site1 192.168.1.0/24 - domain controller with DNS
dc2.domain.local(192.168.2.11) - site2 192.168.2.0/24- domain controller with DNS
dfs replication to sync between the two sites.
dfs is set to exclude targets outside the site and this part works fine. I can confirm it by checking on the clients computer (the dfs tab on the shared folder)
The clients are not joined to the domain and simply log in using domain.local\username
I have one namespace
domain.local/namespace
Now the problem :
Every time a client (Vista or Win 7) tries to open the folder domain.local/namespace there is a long delay of about 12 sec.
Initially this delay was about 20 sec , but after reading about the netbios look up issue and I have applpied the suggested fix and now the delay is less , but still unacceptable.
Additionally the client has netbios disabled
I can supply wireshark cap if required.
