Our environment is Windows 2012 r2 domain.
We are in the process of moving from Windows 2008 r2 file servers to Windows 2012 r2 and are changing the mapping to use domain unc and not server based unc as we have done until now.
We had no problem mapping the domain unc path \\x.int\dfs\folder1 etc but where not able to see the folders when browsing \\x.int\.
We made our domain controllers a namespace serves and where then able to browse the namespace \\x.int\ but we had a problem that when we needed to boot the domain controller that the user had as logon server they lost their dfs mapping for a few minutes.
Is their a way that we can make the dfs namespace visible when browsing \\x.int\ without using the domain controllers as namespace servers.
Another option would be to change default cache duration from 300 to 10 which we don't want to do.
I can't find any good best practices for DFS in Windows 2012 r2.
