Hello, We are beginning to implement DFS on our file servers (2008 R2 Std). We have had at least one instance where after adding an existing share (\\server\share) as a DFS target, the share became unreachable at \\server\share. During this time, the share was accessible via the DFS namespace (\\domain\DFSroot\share). Is this expected behavior, or just a glitch? Travis

its not expected behaviour. does that happen to all your shares? what error message do you get?

I wish I had a screenshot form when we were experiencing the issue. We have since rebuilt the namespace several times without issue. It was not the usual error for when a share does not exist, but more that the share was unavailable. Since we have only seen this once, I'm not too worried about it. I just wanted to get a confirmation before putting this in production. Thank you.
