DFS Error

Hi Community, 

For our customer, we had only one virtual Windows Server 2016 with AD, and File Service roles. 

Recently we deployed a new WS 2019 in their office for redundancy. 

We have DFS configured with the on-site server referral status enabled. The other server on the data center has a disabled referral status. 

So now we have users who complain that they cannot save files in their shared drives, which are mapped via GPO.

Clearing DFS History or rebooting the user's PC clears the issue

Does anyone happen to have experienced something similar?

Below is before and after reboot:

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Files, folders, and storage
