I'm trying to setup a DNS friendly name for a DFS file share.

The DFS share looks like this: 

\\mydomain.com\dfs\location\dev\myfolder

The DNS entry I want to create looks like this:

\\myfolder.test.mydomain.com

Can this even be done? If so, what are some good resources that can help accomplish this?

  • You could certainly create a CNAME that points myfolder.test.mydomain.com at mydomain.com, but I think that if a user accessed the DFS share by that name it might fail, but why don't you give it a try and let us know. :) – theglossy1 Feb 06 '15 at 17:54
  • Not brave enough for the "try it and see" method. :) – Steve L. Feb 09 '15 at 18:24
  • You don't have to be brave... it's a no-risk effort. If you create a CNAME and you can connect to it, great! If not and you can't, you can still connect to the original name \\mydomain.com\dfs\... – theglossy1 Feb 10 '15 at 05:35
