On a "Bad" machine, does a non-DFS path UNC using a FQDN work? For example:

I just tried, and both the long short domain names resolve to the same IP address. On a couple of machines, unjoining from and then rejoining to the domain cleared up the issue. But we have a handful left that that isn’t working for. John From: Andrew S.

When I say a handful, I mean half a dozen out of several hundred (seemingly, but apparently not) identical client machines. All the rest work fine. When you try to access DFS from the bad machines, browsing to \\our.domain.name\our.dfs.path, you get “Access is denied” even when logged in as a user with full permission to access everything. However, DFS content can be accessed just fine from these machines if you use the shorter “Pre-Windows 2000” domain name (e.g., \\domain\our.dfs.path). The problem is that our AD GPOs all use the long domain name, so software deployment fails on these machines. The issue is machine-specific, not user-specific. Any user who logs into the bad machines has the problem. The same user can log into a good machine and access DFS with no trouble. I’m stumped. Anyone seen this before?
