 |
|
I have a server with a long obnoxious name that the end users would like to
call REDA01.
I have aliased the obnoxious server name in DNS and when I try to access the
server by typing in \\reda01 - I receive the following error message (from
the DNS server console):
You were not connected because a duplicate name exists ont he network. Goto
System in Control Panel to change the computer name and try again.
I tried adding static record in wins for same "cname in dns" and after going
to start - run on the WINS server cosole receive error
No Network Provider accepted the given path.
Interesting also was the fact that WINS, from console on WINS server, let me
add a static record for an ipaddress that was dynamically registered.
How can I add an alias/static record in DNS or WINS or both and be vble to
goto start run ands type in \\reda01 and click okay to see the server shares?

Dude:
This is real easy. The issue is that your server needs to allow SMB
connections to it using the alias name. So add the following to the registry
of the file server:
- From
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
- New DWORD Value
- Name: DisableStrictNameChecking
- Base: Decimal
- Value: 1
- Reboot server.
Note: Adding a CNAME record works fine if you are using FTP, HTTP or other
standard TCP/IP applications to access the alias name. Making the registry
entry is only necessary if you plan to access SMB shares, i.e.
\\Server\SomeShare. See http://support.microsoft.com/?id=281308 for
additional info.
Regards,
Martin
