Ok so why do we not have this problem if you just do an install from cd and then connect. We only have the problem when we start applying policies and security.

Aliases, A records and WINS / LMHosts will not fix this in any configuration we have tried. The access denied is server name does not match. Regards; James R.

To shortin the length of a server name for share purposes we created an alias. IE. Fileserver1 alias FS1. If you go onto the machine and type in \\fs1 you get an access denied message. If you type \\Fileserver1 it takes you right into the server. Anyone have a clue on which policies may be affecting this.
