Domain Share problems
Hi,
I have a windows 2003 domain with 2 dc on a SMB.
When I open SF1 I see a share called "Plait" which contains files in it.
When I open MAX I don't see that share
When I open my domain (\\m.local\) I see all the shares I see using FS1 but when I click on "Plait": it says it refers to a non existing location"...
When I do a echo %logonserver% it says: \\MAX
I am installing a soft and it doesn't want to install because it cannot access "Plait"...
I have tried to force the ip of m.local to my FS1 server using it's ip both in the host file and lmhost file... didn't change a thing...
tx for the inputs

Have you checked the permissions of the shares and made sure that everything is sharing correctly?

The truth is that the folder location is on fileserver FS1 and it is from there that it is shared ... I don't know why it would show up under the domain name \\m.local\...??

Good link lots of good infor for me there.
I did a fast workaround before I got the link: I unmapped the DFS drive from U: and mapped U: on the file server directly.
Procedded with the install.
Then remappred the DFS on the U drive.
Not perfect but it worked.
I'll try to follow the troubleshooting in the link later on to fix the problem at the root.
