Connect to Windows Share using an Alias (cname)
by admin on Mar.09, 2007, under DNS, Systems
If you setup a cname in DNS to point to a windows box you are unable to connect to the file shares using the Alias.
Workaround:
1) Start Regedit
2) Locate and click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
3) Add the following value
Value Name: DisableStrictNameChecking
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Radix: Decimal
Value: 1
Exit Regedit and Reboot your machine.
