In one of our client applications we need to determine a single and
hopefully unique url for the filenames that the users access over DFS.
The trouble is that the domain share has both a short netbios name and
the full dns name. For example the users can access the same files using
these two paths:
hopefully unique url for the filenames that the users access over DFS.
The trouble is that the domain share has both a short netbios name and
the full dns name. For example the users can access the same files using
these two paths:
\\DK\DFSRoot\SomeShare\
and
\\dk.company.lan\DFSRoot\Someshare\
I'm looking for a way to determine that these two paths point to the
same share. For example by determining that DK is in fact the same as
dk.company.lan. The problem is that "nslookup DK" can't be used to
resolve the hostname and "nbtstat -a DK" also comes up blank. As a side
note, the dns suffix that the client machines have is "dk.company.lan".
