    DFS and SMB - anyone got it working?

    Konica support was no help, printer vendor cant figure it out either. We have an extensive DFS setup and I cant get the copiers to work with SMB to a DFS share. The error message is worthless, no help at all.

    The file server used as the host everything works just fine, change it over to DFS link and it fails. Confirmed on multiple Printers..

    did you try it by IP address instead of host name?
    are at least one of the DNS server addresses local i hope?
    We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
    Also don't ask me for files without a contributor badge.

    I'm not a KM technician but you should have this informations for smb scan:
    1. customer use a domain server? (if yes, DOMAIN NAME\USER NAME or USER NAME@DOMAIN NAME)
    2. customer use a dns server? (correct DNS ip adress programmed? Maybe the dns-server need a DNS refresh/restart). And check if the machine be listed in dns-server.
    3. user rights to write to the folder set? Alternatively, use the domain admin as user for the smb scan.

Since WinServer 2008 if using advanced sharing you do not have to enter anything other than the shared folder name, assuming the username and password are correct. Additionally we have observed that WinServer will disable an account that does not change the password in 90 days, even if the account is setup for the password never to expire. We recently had a customer with multiple servers with over two hundred of our units setup for scanning experience this problem. Simply resetting the password to what it currently is corrected the situation even though initially they blamed our units.

    Our DFS is working flawlessly in every other way. I cant imagine its not setup correctly.

    \\actualfileservername\usernameshare\scansfolder works

    \\mydomain.com\userDFSshare\scansfolder works

    We have hundreds of users working just fine in everyother way using DFS and the permissions have all been set and checked years ago.

    And we assign a service account that has permissions to write to the scans folder. Works just fine until we use the DFS path and directly to the server.
