Re: DNS dfs issue

Netmask Ordering is already enabled and I can't do away with Round Robin since we need it.

We have a third site that uses its local DNS with round robin enabled and everything DFS functions fine.

Seeing an issue with DFS folder enumeration. Here is the design.

Domain name is domain.local

All servers are in the same domain and there are two sites within the
domain.

2 domain controllers are in SiteA with IP addresses of 10.0.0.1 and
10.0.0.2

1 domain controller is in SiteB with an IP address of 10.1.0.1

All three domain controllers are namespace servers for
\\domain.local\files

When I configure a client in SiteB to use its local dc for dns
resolution (10.1.0.1) and try to access \\domain.local\files it takes
up
to 2 minutes for the folders to enumerate.

When I configure the same client to use a remote dc for its dns
resolution (10.0.0.1) and access \\domain.local\files then it works
fine.

Netdiag, dcdiag, portqry etc... results successful on all dcs.

On the local DNS disable Round Robin and Enable Netmask Ordering. DNS should give you the local IP in DNS first. Provided the local DNS has the local IP registered, which it should.
