Question : How do clients resolve DFS name?
Hi,
Can someone please explain how clients resolve a DFS root to a the actual server that the root points to? I can't find anything in DNS. How do clients even know which DFS server the roots ly on?
I recently moved DFS root from server1 to server2. Now client frequently lose connection to DFS share. I realized that the new server points to itself for DNS lookups but it doesn't actually have DNS. I can fix that issue, and I can only hope the misconfigured DNS is the reason why clients lose connection to DFS share, but I can't be sure and hence the question.
The clients however points to correct DNS server and resolve 100%.
Thanks!
