I have a NAS filer share say \xyz.abc.def.com. I am trying to access the share from Windows server 2008R2 Server.

We have a CNAME xyz.def.com pointing to xyz.abc.def.com.

I am able to access the share using \xyz.abc.def.com as well as the IP but unable to access the share using \xyz.def.com

a) DisableStrictNameChecking is 1 on Windows Server 2008R2 b) NetBios over TCP is default. I tried setting it to Enabled but no luck

I get the error 0x80004005, unspecified error
