We're running MSDFS from a Samba server. I've wanted to move the MSDFS master a few times, but each time I've run into an insoluble problem: Windows Explorer (not IE) on 64-bit Windows XP clients (and only 64-bit Windows XP clients) will crash on random folders after I move the MSDFS server. The Start menu, Desktop, etc will go down and then restart. Once a user crashes on a particular folder, they'll always crash on that folder. I've made sure the Samba version on the new server is the same, right down to the sub-sub-sub-release. Doesn't make a difference. The machines are all up-to-date with Windows Update. 32-bit clients don't have the problem. When I move the MSDFS server back to the original server, everything is fine again. Has anyone else run into this?

Yes, something similar.
XP64 was getting the BSOD when connecting to my Mac OS X Server 10.5 running SAMBA. There's a simple fix. Add this to your config file: "change notify = no" Apple's Kbase article is here: :) Mat X |
