Hey all, I've been re-doing the shared folders of a file server that is being used by one of my departments. Previously they were mapped directly to the server (\srv-name\Share) and the XX GB free of XX GB text under the blue bar that shows disk capacity was shown. After I re-mapped the drive to point to my DFS-N Folder (\my.domain.local\DFS_SRV\Share) it does not show the XX GB free of XX GB text under the blue bar, BUT it shows the correct capacity when I hover over the bar.
Here is the image of the "error":
I checked the permissions and they are correct, checked the DFS-N using dfsdiag /testreferral /DFSpath:\\contoso.com\MyNamespace and it all came clean and working as intended. I also checked with my colleague if it is just me or does it happen to him too, and it does.
I flipped the whole Google over to search for some potential solutions, but no luck.
I also have another DFS Namespace set up for another share and the capacity shows correctly in Explorer as shown in the picture above. The configuration is almost identical, except for the share name, on the right one the share name is SOMETHING$ , on the left one the share name is SOMETHING.
If anyone has any ideas or if you already had this issue and resolved it, please let me know!
Thank you in advance!
