Hello, a heave a share on a samba server 3.6.3 that is used as a DFS-Root. The DFS Links a working on Client with Windows 7 but not on Windows XP clients.

Hi all I'm trying to set up dfs for (among other things) profiles (i don't know if this is a good example, but that is out of the scope of my current question) I've been following these instructions: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/msdfs.html http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/samba-domain-dfs-samba-4-help-209347402.html as well as the hints given in the

Hello, Our company currently stores its data on centralized samba servers which causes performance problems for remote office employees. We are thinking of decentralizing the data with NAS in each office and synchronizing all the NAS on our central domain controller with MSDFS. I have heard this can be done in real time with Windows and Active Directory.

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<

Hello, Last week I submitted a problem with msdfs on samba. I didn't receive any reaction. I've also tried the samba-cvs version but this has also problems. We really like to use msdfs from samba, because we want to put all our homedirectories ( more than 4000 ) in one dfsroot. This is not possible with Microsoft's dfs because this has a limit of 1000 .... I didn't found this

Robert Gurdon robert.gurdon at gmail.com 12:49 (0 perce) c?mzett: samba Hai, I would like to set up a DFS with this configuration: I have 3 Samba4 servers (4.1.4). 2 of them should work as a DFS "client" the third one will be the DFS stotage (actualy this servers has the required amount of space).

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

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).

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

Please help me understand why I am unable to connect to and browse the newly configured DFS tree that I installed on my Samba server according to the instructions found in Chapter 18.

Hello, i'm trying to figure out some specific things about Samba DFS. 1. What is the ordering method of a DFS Share with multiple servers (e.g. msdfs:serverB\\share,serverC\\share linkb ; Source: https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/msdfs.html)? With a Microsoft DFS i have 3 options regarding the target. (Targets in a client's site are listed first in a

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?!)
