When using DFS windows explorer shows owner sids instead of friendly names m0rk <no[ at ]thank.you> 11/26/2008 2:01:21 PM All 2003 R2 DC's, when using DFS namespaces when the option to show the owner column is used in windows explorer the sids show instead of the friendly user names. If I go in via a standard unc \\server\share the friendly name resolves fine or if on the server, only appears to happen via dfs namespaces. Any ideas ?

RE: When using DFS windows explorer shows owner sids instead of friend confuzzled 12/15/2008 8:51:00 PM I have this issue as well....has anyone found a fix for this yet? This is only an issue when using a dfs namespace path. When going back to using the unc directly to the share, the owner column is populated properly.
