msdfs, win98 / NT and non-resolvable symlink paths

[Shirish Kalele]

Yes, it works for me too.

Arjen,

Does it work from the command window but not in Explorer?

Could you send me a log level 10 file of either the Win95, 98 or NT trying
to browse to one of the dfs links? Could you also send me a network trace of
the interaction right from the time you map the share?

Remember to reboot the clients before you do the test.

Thanks,
Shirish
