Thanks! THAT helps.
I did as instructed ...
I've created an Organizational Unit on the server, then populated it with
a few shares - one for a folder on logical drive I, another for logical drive K.
Both shares have been published in AD.
On the server (called "WSVR-2003E-01"), in Computer management, system tools,
shared folders, shares ...
Under the share name column, I have 'Folder-on-drive-I-share'
[path - F:\server downloads],
with the number of client connections showing 0.
I right click on it, hit properties, the publish tab, and the path to
shared folder is:
\\WSVR-2003E-01\Folder-on-drive-I-share
Publish this share in Active Directory is checked, BTW.
Also under the share name column, I also have 'Drive-K-Share' [path - K:\],
with the number of client connections also showing 0.
I right click on it, hit properties, the publish tab, and the path to
shared folder is:
\\WSVR-2003E-01\Drive-K-Share
Publish this share in Active Directory is also checked.
Now on to Active Directory Users and Computers ...
Under the Domain name ("DNS-Domain-01.com"), I have
(in the tree on the left pane)
"Organizational Object 01".
In the right pane, I have two entries for the OU:
Drive I share on WSVR-2003E-01 shared folder
Shared K drive on WSVR-2003E-01 shared folder
With the first one (the Drive I share), I right click on it,
hit properties, then the general tab, and under UNC name, it shows:
\\WSVR-2003E-01.DNS-Domain-01.com\Folder-on-drive-I-share
With the second one (the Drive K share), I right click on it,
hit properties, then the general tab, and under UNC name, it shows:
\\WSVR-2003E-01.DNS-Domain-01.com\Drive-K-Share
Does everything look OK so far?
The directory entry for the domain name ("DNS-Domain-01.com")
still turns up empty on the client for Directory under Entire Network.
GRRRRR!!!

Users can see this volume while browsing Active Directory. To browse Active Directory:
1. On the desktop, double-click Network Neighborhood or My Network Places.
2. Double-click Entire Network.
3. Click Entire Contents.
4. Double-click Directory.
5. Double-click the domain name, and then double-click TestOU.
6. To view the files in the volume, either right-click the
Published TestShare volume and then click Open, or double-click Published TestShare.

To search Active Directory for published shares:

5. Right-click the domain, and then click Find.
6. In the Find box, click Shared Folders.

8. Click Find Now.

I clicked on find, told it to search for published shares, and it found nothing.
Do I need to do anything WRT "broadcasting" the presence of the OU to the network?
What am I missing?
