Windows 10: How do you force close files on a DFS share?

We have a DFS share that is replicated across three servers. We have a user group that needs to update certain configuration files on this DFS share and they need to be able to force close those files. On a standard server share, you can do this with Computer Management. Is it possible to do something similar with DFS?

DFS Shares issues when undocking

Hi,

I am having an issue with some new computers on windows 10. We have our file shares on a server linked via DFS. If a user is docked to their station and connected via Ethernet everything is working fine. As soon as they unplug from the station and the computer
swaps to wifi, all of the DFS files and connections disappear. This happens basically instantly at the moment they disconnect from ethernet.

Trying to access the DFS share from the run prompt says it can't find it. If the user restarts, unplugged, everything will show back up. Obviously restarting every time someone goes to a meeting etc is unsustainable. My guesses are this has something to
do with Windows 10 swapping from Wired to Wireless internet connection but I am not too sure. This all works fine on Windows 7, also It doesn't seem to matter the device. I have a dell lattitude 7480 that it happens on as well as a Surface Pro 4.

Any help in diagnosing this issue would be greatly appreciated so my users can be mobile more easily!

Microsoft DFS Folder Access Issue

Hi,

I am migrating DFS name space from Windows 2003 to Windows 2016 in Stand alone DFS with Cluster Environment.

I am facing issue that after creating DFS name space role in windows 2016 that Folder - Folder access through \\DFSNameSpace\Shared Folder\DFS links or Shares

I am expecting that DFS Name space can be accessed like \\DFSNameSpace\DFS links or Shares. This way I am able to access in windows 2003.
