I've got a server with DFS Role installed physically located in BLD02 (My_DFS_Server), a primary DC (DC01) physically located in BLD01, and a secondary DC (DC02) physically located in BLD02.
In ADSS have Sites>BLD01, Sites>BLD02, Sites>Default-First-Site-Name which has DC01 and DC02 attached to it. Sites BLD01 and BLD02 have to servers under them in the ADSS GUI.
In DFS Management on My_DFS_Server, DFS Management > Namespaces > \\domain.local\dfs> Unit1
Unit1: Referal Status:Enabled, Site: BLD02, Path: \\My_DFS_Server\Unit1
My question is why is the Site listed as BLD02? Shouldn't it be Default-First-Site-Name?
The reason I'm asking is that some users are required to enter \\domain.local\dfs\Unit1 to see their files while others can enter \\domain\dfs\Unit1 and I'm thinking it has to do with the SITE and their physical location in the IP space.
