Hello,
I am trying to use CNAME for fault tolerance. If we loose a server and workstations are mapped to an alias we just bring the new server up and update the CNAME without having to remap workstations.
Scenario:
I have a server called corp.mydomain.com, I would like to use the alias corpserver.mydomain.com (corp.mydomain.com is a Winndows 2003 server).
When the CNAME is setup the alias corpserver.mydomain.com is pointing to corp.mydomain.com.
When I try to browse via \\, I get “Windows cannot find \\corpserver.mydomain.com, check the spelling…”
Is there some sort of group policy on corp.mydomain.com that I have to enable to allow alias browsing. Of course browsing directly to \\corp.mydomain.com works fine.
The big picture has to do with mapping XP workstations to a fault tolerant CNAME. And of course if you can not whack whack to it, you can not map it.
Any thoughts??
