Giving domain computers read access to the dfs root corrected my issue. Interestingly enough, I did NOT have to do this on my other 2008 servers (although those roots are still running in 2003 mode)
Thanks all! -----Original Message----- From: Phil Brutsche [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2010 3:24 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: 2008 DFS Question It does not matter whether the DFS root share is stored on a DC. I would make sure the "Domain Computers" group has at least read permissions on: a) The DFS root - share and NTFS permissions b) The share pointed to by the DFS link - share and NTFS permissions If the "Domain Computers" group can't read \\example.com\dfs then it won't be able to read \\example.com\dfs\APPS either. I'm not aware of any best practices as to where the root share should be. On 8/24/2010 2:00 PM, Kelsey, John wrote: > The DFS root share is located on the DC.
