Hi,
We recently migrated our AD infra from 2003 to 2008 R2 SP1. In the same line we also migrated our file server (10 days ago) from 2003 to 2012. We implement DFS namespace (Domain based) on the File Server and modify our logon script and home folder to access the shares via \\domain.local\dfs.
We have folder redirection configured for my documents onto the DFS. We had this issue 2 times since implementation where all the shares become inaccessible although the file server is up and running. If we try to browse \\domain.local\dfs, it takes approximately 1 or 2 minutes to open or it timeout. When we open the DFS Management console, it takes a long time to display the shared folders in the console.
We restarted the file (DFS) Server, everything continue to work correctly but we had the same issue after 6 days.
Our DFL is 2008 R2 and FFL 2003. AD replication works correctly and we have only one namespace server configured in consistency mode.
Any idea what may be causing this issue?
Thanks.
