Windows Client DFS share Access

[jvandellen]

Does anybody know if it is possible to have a WIndows client access an existing DFS share. Based on what I have been able to determine so far. It appears that files can only be served to windows clients using nfs. Does anybody have any information on this? I've read through the wiki and didn't see anything  mentioning this. Additionally, my other searches on this topic has come up with no useful information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have not tried this, but most likely it doesn't work when referencing the share as a UNC path. See https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8657.

However, if you can map the share to a drive, e.g. net use z: \\server\share, then that should definitely work.
