We have a Dell Powervault NF500 running Windows Storage Server 2003 R2, if that helps. I'm not clear on the DFS/SMB recommendation. Can you give some more info on that?

Browse All TopicsWe have installed Gateway for NFS on a Server 2003 R2 file server and attached a drive letter to an NFS NAS device on site. From our client machines we can successfuly map to it and see it via Windows Explorer, but we have to hit the "refresh" button each time something is changed to view the changes. Explorer won't update the screen until we hit "refresh". Is there a way to resolve this?

NFS provides file change notification mechanisms, but Windows is not using them.
What is make and model of your NAS? It would fit perfectly if it able to handle DFS redirection to SMB.
