DFS folders sometimes empty

Hi all,

We have 2008 r2 File server in a domain with 2008 R2 DC, functional level 2003. We have seen an issue where the DFS namespace does not appear to be working. When a user opens Explorer and goes to\\domain.com\folder it opens with nothing showing or only the folder structure is present without files inside. We have five 2008 r2 File servers in five different sites. Each site replicate with a central file server 2008 r2 for backup purpose.

The users use Windows XP sp3.

Some XP clients just show either empty subfolders and sometimes the map disappears but comes back (?). Checked share and ntfs permissions several times and they are correct. When logging on to different computers with the same user logon the maps are showing all folders. Only reboot the client is helpful.

This behavior is sporatic and sometimes occurred if the users disconnect the network cable for moving in other rooms  and after that reconnect the cable.

Thank you,

Simone
