Access Share
I have a share on a server that some workstations can not access.
If accessing the share with the NetBIOS name for example: \\servername\private$ access is denied.
But if accessing the share with FQDN example: \\servername.domain.com\pr ivat$ access is granted.
This shows that ntfs rights and rights on shares are correct
If I add an extra share name in the same folder - eg NewPrivat$, it is possible to access Sharen.
with \\servername\Newprivate$
why can not I access the original share (privat$] on the fileserver on some workstations, but I can access the extra share (NewPrivat$) on the same folder

If you do ipconfig /all is the DNS Suffix listed?
ASKER
Yes the DNS suffix is listed
Do you have AV installed?
Do you have any WINS servers? Are the clients using them?

I did re-install the workstation, because we could not find a solution.
2. Sounds like weird behavior - on the server, Manage, shares, sessions: clear any open sessions the problem clients have hanging around, and try the troubleshooting again
