Accessing C$ over LAN on Win2008R2 - cannot by hostname but can by IP and FQDN
- by Idgoo
Having an issue with one of our Win2k8 R2 file servers. Trying to access C$ or the Admin share is giving us an error (see error details that the bottom), however we are able to connect using the server's IP and FQDN.
can access \\172.16.x.x\c$ with domain cred
can access \\server.domain.local\c$ with domain creds
cannot access \\servername\c$ with same domain creds
Server pings fine with Hostname, IP, FQDN, the Primary DNS suffix is also correct.
DNS, PTR and Wins records are all correct for the Server
I have checked that I am not trying to connect with cached credentials in the Windows vault, the server is also appending primary and connection specific DNS suffixes to the hostname.
Any ideas what might be causing this issue?
