Weird DFS behavior...
We have a domain DFS namespace: \\company.local\companysha res
We have several folders published. With targets on two servers server1 and server2.
If a user creates a shortcut to a folder hosted inside a folder on dfs it intermittently changes the shortcut to point to the folder target instead of the dfs folder.
For instance, a user may create a shortcut on their desktop that points to the folder called subfolder that resides inside \\company.local\companysha res\userfo lders (\\company.local\companysh ares\userf olders has two targets: \\server1\userfolders and \\server2\userfolders). Initially the shortcut correctly points to \\company.local\companysha res\userfo lders\subf older. However, the next day the shortcut target will somehow change to \\server1\userfolders\subf older.
I'm seeing this intermittently with multiple shortcuts created by multiple users.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? I'm stumped.

I've applied these setting to our Domain wide GPO. Will run for a couple of days to see if there's any change.
Will assign points if result is positive.
Thanks.
