similar to: Unable to access and browse a DFS tree

Hi, Does anyone know if there has been any more progress on the problem of browsing 'complex dfs roots' see http://lists.samba.org/archive/smb-clients/2006-February/000622.html Basically it occurs whenever you have a Microsoft Distributed File System Tree where the links are to subfolders of the destination share. Microsoft clients have no trouble browsing such trees. The Samba HOWTO

Hi: I've got a samba/DFS server configured that works fine under it's original name, but I'm getting booted out of that DNS domain, into a subdomain. All my (WinXP) clients have drives mapped to names like \\server.domain.com\dfsroot. If I browse to the path, \\server.domain.com\dfsroot, everything works. I can access the shares pointed to via the dfs links But, now the network is

We restored to 3.0.23d after update to 3.0.25a because of strange dfs behavior. the detailed situation: on msdfs root server 'samba' ls -lR dfsroot/: drwxr-xr-x appl1 dfsroot/appl1 lrwxrwxrwx share1 -> msdfs:server1\share1 [dfs] comment = "SaMBa DFS root" path = /path.../dfsroot # next line does not work prior 3.0.25 !!! # hide unreadable = Yes

Hi, I am trying to configure domain DFS (I think that's the correct term) as below, using the guide on the wiki: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Distributed_File_System_(DFS)#Configure_domain-based_DFS_in_Samba I am aware that the wiki says that this doesn't quite work... however it feels to me that it's very close, nearly working, and I might be able to get it going (hopefully?!)

Hi, I'm trying to create a map of DFS links to actual server/share's.? I know that you can get this information by logging on to the DFS root server, but I'm trying to use the libsmbclient API to get this information. I have created a fairly simple DFS structure on 2003 servers with everything on the same domain. //MyDomain/DFSRoot /Link1 -> //Fileserv-1/FileShare1

Hi list DFS Links in a separate share seems to work, but in the [homes] section does not. Is this a known problem? Samba is 3.0.26a. /etc/smb.conf excerpts: ---------------------------- 8< ---------------------------- [global] ... host msdfs = yes ... [homes] ... msdfs root = yes ... [dfstest] path = /data/dfsroot msdfs root = yes ---------------------------- 8<

Using the HOWTO in http://keystoneit.wordpress.com/2006/09/25/network-ups-tools-nut-on-ubuntu/ I installed nut on an Ubuntu Edgy LAMP Server with an Eaton Powerware 5110 attached to it via usb. But nut fails to start properly (see the error message "Starting Network UPS Tools: (upsdrvctl failed) upsd upsmon" below). It then complains about communication with the UPS being lost ("UPS

Is there a trick to being able to access shares via \\domain\dfsroot\.. rather than \\computer\dfsroot\... ? Only the latter works for me - samba 3.0.22

I've been testing DFS roots and I'm finding that while Vista and 2008 Server clients can connect with no problems, Windows XP Pro and 2003 Server clients fail. This seems like it's the wrong way round - Samba usually has more difficulties with recent Windows versions than older ones - but I can only assume that there's some registry/policy change between the versions. If anybody

I've set up a dfs share according to instructions. There is one part of the instructions that I don't understand. I've checked the forum archives but can't find any examples which might help. In the Instructions section (4.1 of the HTML Samba Project Documentation), is shows how to set up the symbolic links in a DFS share, as shown below. I have 2 Samba servers (SMB1 and SMB2).

Hi, We have been a samba shop since way back and have used DFS quit a lot the last years. When we went with security ads instead of domain our dfs died. We have tried 3.028(sun) in solaris wich we are leaving and 3.2.1 in linux, our migration target. For our 3.2.1 installation the config looks liket this and the problem manifests itself as a empty share. [Global] kernel oplocks = False oplocks

Hello all I am running into a problem and hoping you can provide a little guidance. I am currently running 3.3.7 downloaded and installed from pware Config file has the following [global] # Workgroup section workgroup = DOMAIN server string = installs-aix Samba Server local master = no # Logging section log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m log

Since past the beta-times of samba 4 (and it worked in former times!!) it never worked like this: \\yourdomain\share or \\yourdomain \dfs-share. The only thing working along witch your domain is: \\yourdomain\netlogon. I had another thread open on this case some times ago.

Hi, - Server : Ubuntu server 11.04 - Samba 3.5.8 - (Likewise 6.0.0-2 if that can make sense... ? - Anyway : working fine; A.D. integration OK) - Client : windows XP SP3 When trying to use this brand new server as a DFS root, I'm facing an issue I can't solve: - Pointing to \\servername\dfsroot\linktootherserver I'm getting the error message "share refers to a location that is

Hello list I try to setup a DFS root like documented in the Samba HOWTO Collection Chapter 18. (using Samba 3.0.14a btw.) I setup everything as specified there, but when I try to access one of the linked shares from a windows machine, I get a message telling me the location is unavailable.

Hallo, I want to use several DFS-Shares from a M$-Server trough my Samba-Server (3.0.20b-3.21-1370-SUSE on an OpenSchoolServer). I've created symlinks in /export/dfsroot like: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2007-05-04 08:06 agbhome -> msdfs:172.18.160.10 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2007-03-28 09:36 home -> msdfs:172.18.160.10\ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 2007-02-04 11:44 lehrer ->

Hi, I have configured samba 3.0.2 as Dfs root but it seems smbd dont translate symlink to remote share name. All targeted shares are from testing workstation directly accessible.

I'm dealing with a Linux environment with extensive automounting, that also has DFS configurations for the Windows clients of various CIFS systems. I've got CIFS automounting working for various CIFS servers, which definitely has its uses, but I'd *love* to be able to mount the DIFS published paths for the CIFS shares? Basically, if I have shares called \\example1\share1 and

I have read through some of the info on using dfs roots and I am needing some advice. Since a unc is still \\servername\ based it occurs to me that the only way to do this properly is to create a smb.conf file that publishes a netbios name like \\dfsroot -- Then, to create a failover system, I would take that config file and copy it around to multiple samba server. Then, have some kind of watch or
