Clients can't see contents of DFS folder. |
|
|
I have a workstation which can't see or manipulate the contents of a DFS
folder on a server in the same site as the workstation. This is a small LAN
with a single server acting as DC and file & print (W2K sp4 with all updates).
All the other workstations and users can see and manipulte the contents of
the DFS folder, and can do through mapped drives, Network Places and UNC. The
problem workstation can see and manipulate the contents if it is browsed to
through Network Places or connected to through Start>>>Run>>>UNC, but can't
by using mapped drives, which he needs to be able to do. From within the
mapped drive, he can see the folder, but when he opens it, it is empty, even
though there are subfolders. Also, when he tries to copy anything into the
DFS, he gets the generic "access denied" error message.
The DFS root is created on a new hard drive I installed in the site server
in order to create more data storage, then created the linked folder under
the mapped drive folder on the old hard drive.
I've tried rebooting to clear the client MUP cache, have checked all the
security settings, and reviewed stuff on TechNet, but I'm baffled. I've also
unmapped and remapped the drive, upon a suggestion from another newsgroup,
with no effect. A further complication is that one workstation which in the
past could see and manipulate the contents of the folder through a mapped
drive, now cannot, though it can still successfully see and manipulate the
folder by accessing it through UNC and browsing to it through Network Places.
Other workstations are still able to have full access through all three
means.Any help
would be greatly appreciated. |

I asked the DFS team about this issue, but unfortunately we don't have a
simple answer for you. If restarting the client and/or remapping the drive
doesn't work, it's going to take some more in-depth debugging that's best
done through the assistance of product support. If you can, I recommend you
open a support case for additional assistance.
I'll post back if I find any workarounds or things to try.
