Regards, Jorge -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: 1/9/2005 9:09 PM Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DFS & NOVELL You missed nothing. It is just a well-hidden bug. Quote from KB819106: "The Windows 95-based DFS client can only negotiate referrals to other SMB (Server Message Block) volumes, such as those that are hosted by Microsoft Windows NT or by Windows 95. All other volumes, such as NFS and NetWare, will appear as empty directories to the Windows 95-based DFS client. Windows NT does not have this limitation. This limitation of Windows 95 is stated in the DFS client readme file." The same applies to W98, presumably. A long shot could be to install the dsclient, since that makes some changes to the DFS client functionality. -- Regards, Willem _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jorge de Almeida Pinto Sent: Friday, January 07, 2005 10:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] DFS & NOVELL Hi Everyone, For the migration of data from Novell File servers to Windows File Servers I'm using DFS I have set up a stand-alone DFS root <file:///\\SERVER\DATA$\> \\SERVER\DATA$\ For each Novell server with data I have created a DFS link under the DFS root called LOCATION-<Location CODE> which is Linked to <file:///\\NOVELLSERVER\VOLUME\DIR> \\NOVELLSERVER\VOLUME\DIR For one of the Windows File Servers I have created a DFS link under the DFS root called LINKS which is Linked to <file:///\\WINDOWSSERVER\LINKS$> \\WINDOWSSERVER\LINKS$ Now the problem: When I connect to the DFS root with a WXP or W2K3 client with the Novell Client installed I'm able to access the data under the DFS link for the Windows server and for the Novell servers. No problem at all. When I connect to the DFS root with a W95 or W98 client with the Novell Client installed I'm able to access the data under the DFS link for the Windows server BUT NOT the Novell servers. Thus I'm NOT able to connect to <file:///\\SERVER\DATA$\Location-%3cLocation-CODE%3e\> \\SERVER\DATA$\Location-<Location-CODE>\, but I'm able to connect to <file:///\\NOVELLSERVER\VOLUME\DIR> \\NOVELLSERVER\VOLUME\DIR What am I missing?
