Hello,
We've setup a DFS namespace in a 2008R2 domain, which works fine from workstations/servers inside the domain.
This namespace is using FQDN referrals (DfsDnsConfig:1)
When trying to access the namespace from a workstation ouside the domain, the following appears:
- Start / Run / \\DOMAIN.LOC\NAMESPACE [enter]
- A windows security popup appears, I enter my domain account/password (permissions are OK)
- A new popup appears with following message: "Windows cannot access \\DOMAIN.LOC\NAMESPACE, check the spelling of the name. Otherwise there might be a problem with your network...." (error code: 0x80070043 The network name cannot be found)
- When trying to diagnose with dfsutil (>dfsutil diag viewdfspath \\DOMAIN.LOC\NAMESPACE) following message appears:
Destination Path <\\DOMAIN.LOC\NAMESPACE> is inaccessible
Could not execute the command successfully
SYSTEM ERROR - The system detected a possible attempt to compromise security. Please ensure that you
can contact the server that authenticated you.
Remarks:
- The DNS resolution is of course OK from the workstation
- When trying to access the shared folder directly from the server (\\servername\shared_target_folder ) it works !
Would anybody have any ideas / remarks ?
Thanks a lot,
Vincent
