We have three site with 2 DC's each! Users logon to the relevant DC, which then redirects them to the relevant DFS server !!
Can anyone help on how to achive this using kix !!?

Thanks in advance

It is just a drive mapping. The manual has some examples of mapping drives.


Use S: /Delete /Persistent
Use S: '\\myserver\myshare-point'

Wrong answer DOC.

You would map to the DFS path as in \\domain.com\DFSRoot\WhatEver

Well not wrong. However by using "myserver" probably is misleading. When "myserver" is in our case an alias to to DFS share.

Sorry boss - for a more generic response Les is correct and I should have spelled it out better. However was also meaning that there is no real special code involved. It is still just mapping a drive.

I found that KIX does not understand mapping to the \\domainname\dfsroot (which is the proper way of mapping to a DFSRoot). If someone found a way around that let us know, please.

So why don't you tell us the exact error message and demonstrate a proof-of-error script?

I can say with conviction that it works because I tested it.

Maybe you have an old version of KiX.

I stand corrected, just gave it another bash and it's all good.
Thanks for making me look at it again.

Thank you all for your quick reply!
I will try your suggestions on my script and let you know
Use N: /Delete /Persistent
Use N: '\\domain\myshare-point'

Hope that I understood this correctly
