I've only tried it using FQDN-haven't tried short name. Would be willing to give it a shot, although either should work. Theoretically. :)

Regardless of who you're logged into the machine as (regular user, domain admin, etc.), when trying to reach our DFS system you get an error saying access is denied. A dialog box entitled "Network Error" appears and says "Windows cannot access \\mydfspath<file:///\\mydfspath>. You do not have permission to access \\mydfspath<file:///\\mydfspath>. Contact your network administrator to request access." This isn't a user permission issue. You can directly access the data via \\server\share<file:///\\server\share>--just not through DFS. And the error ONLY happens on this machine. Log in as the same user on the machine next to it, and you can access \\mydfspath<file:///\\mydfspath> just fine. I'm stumped. We tried unjoining the machine from the domain and rejoining thinking maybe something had happened with the trust relationship. No dice. Any ideas? I'm stumped. I can always re-image the machine, which I suspect may fix the issue. But if there's a way to track down the root of the problem without doing that, I'd prefer to.
