DFS namespace infinite loop
Hi all,
I have set DFS between 3 servers and all files have been replicated. I disabled 2 server referrals to leave only the primary.
As soon as I disable the primary server and enable the secondary (which is my new server) after a couple of minutes users get into a loop when they access the network drive.
Example: testy\IT\\IT\\IT\\IT\\IT\\
Can someone let me know why this happens and how can I sort it out?

Yes one of the fie server is the name space server too, to you think if i just change the backup name space server from the file server to a new one this will solve the problem?

ok
Why only "Ok" feedback and a B grade?!
\\domain.local\dfsname
and then links of
dir1
dir2
and, say, dir1 points to \\server\dfsname (or whatever the share name you are using for the namespace on that server?).
