Consider the following Scenario:
In this Scenario you encounter an Error Message when you try to access the Link the First time.
The Error Message states:
The network name cannot be found."
When you instead try to access the WebDav Path (i.e. \\Servername\Shared Documents) directly you will notice a slight delay during the first access but the content of the Share is displayed.
Afterwards the DFS-Link works as well until the next restart.
- You use a Distributed File System (DFS) Namespace
- One of the DFS Links points to a WebDav Share (i.e. a Sharepoint Shared Documents Folder) with a path like \\Servername\Shared Documents
- You use Windows 7 to access this DFS-Link
