Name Resolution Win2000 Domain
Right now we have a Server 2003 as a PDC & a BDC. We also have a Win2000 server that we pretty much just use as a file server. Our domain is a 2000 level also. All the workstations are XP and we are starting our migration to Windows 7 Pro.
We are just starting with one machine right now and everything is going well except for folder redirection. It acts different for different users also. What we did was create a whole new folder on our PDC for Windows 7 user folders. Setup a GPO for folder redirection and we had to set Sync Offline files to the user directory in order to use it for redirection.
The issue is though that it doesn't always work, and if we create a new user we have to log into a XP machine for the new folders to be created before they are usable in Win7. For some users they can get to the folder via \\SERVERNAME\users7\. Some other users can only get to it by \\SERVER_FQDN\users7\. And some can and some can't use the server ip also.
I have tried enabling NetBIOS, hosts file, WINS server, and different DNS servers all with the same result. Any ideas of how to get this resolved?
Thanks!
