I have a domain server mydomain.com and a DFS server which is part of mydomain.com. DFS server has a share with namespace //mydomain.com/Datashare, which points to a TestData folder inside the machine. TestData has few files 1.txt,2.txt. When i access my DFS share on a windows machine it mounts the share and shows the folder TestData with files 1.txt and 2.txt. When I access same share on my Mac machine it mounts the share and dispalys TestData folder. however it does not show any file inside this folder. Someone discuss a solution of setting same search domain on Mac machine as AD sets on windows but that solution does not work for me.
i added AD domain to search domain list in /etc/resolv.conf and it started working for me.
Thanks for your posting here and sharing the resolution!
If there is anything else we can do for you, please feel free to post in the forum.
can you explain more details because i have the same issue and dont understand your above solution!
Thanks you very much!
Hi,
Welcome to share here!
Try the method: smb://domain.com/storage/[share]
If not , please refer to the following information in the link below.
Can Apple, Linux, and other non-MS operating systems connect to DFS Namespaces?
Best Regards,
i read a post here regarding same issue https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1960573-mac-dfs-is-empty . after adding ad domain to search domain list, DFS share started showing me the files.
