Not possible to add DFS root in windows share repository
Hi Karl,
I'm a bit struggling to define a windows share repository to our DFS root. Basically our DFS root is something like \\domain.net\dfs but in repository connection creation it's not possible to have entire path in the "Server" field (I get "server name can not include path information"). It's not either possible to only have domain.net in the server field as it return another message "Couldn't connect to server: A duplicate name exists on the network." Can you advise how this can be fixed?
Regards
Kambiz Niktabar

Hi Kambiz,
The allowed operations of JCIFS differ for DFS root names vs. paths and
shares. If you provide a path in that slot, 90% of the time it will not
properly authenticate, and getting share security will fail. So that is
not an option.
Allowing a path type-in even when there is an error might be one thing to
work around your network problem. But the obvious first step is to try to
fix the network.

Hi Karl,
Actually I got that error on the repository connection page and almost the same "SmbException thrown: A duplicate name exists on the network" on the Path tab, where there is no box to type the path (see attached snapshot).
Can you advise why it's not possible to have path e.g. "domain.net/dfs" in the Server field on repository connection page? I think that might help to browser to that DFS root.
Regards
Kambiz

Hi Kambiz,
I presume the "Couldn't connect to server: A duplicate name exists on the network." error occurs on the connection view page? If so, you might be able to just ignore this error, and type in a path on the Paths tab.
If that doesn't work for you, I can't help you debug your network. You will want to contact Michael Allen at jcifs.samba.org, and ask for network debugging help.
