| Hi Team,
We have some file servers available in our environment. Because of the poor
documentation in early days, we could not locate where exactly this file
share is hosted.
Suddenly some user says tht the share is not working, if we go to our domain
say, \\sample\ <file://sample/> im able to see the share.When i browse
through that folder i could not locate.It says no network connectivity
available for this path.
How do i know in which file server the share ex:-
\\sample\devteam<file://sample/devteam>is hosted? is ther any commands
to check that?
Thanks for your time.

| Ping sample
Or
nslookup sample
it should give you the ip address or computername

| Unless they're using DFS in which case *sample* doesn't have to be the
hostname of a server.

| Shouldn't dfsutil be able to give you the content of the referral list? And thus showing you to what \\sample<file:///\\sample> refers to?
If DFS is being used ofcourse.. Else the ping would do I think.

| DFSUTIL would (at least, under Win2000) show you this - even if the root
targets were unavailable. However, as I found out just yesterday, if
the root target is down (in my case, there was only 1 root target)
DFSUTIL (from Win2008) failed to show the targets.
I used ADSIEDIT to look at the DFS object itself to determine the server
it was pointing to.
This is the basic syntax - replace domain and share with the appropriate
names
DFSUTIL /root:\\domain\share /view
If you had Win2000, the syntax is different...Win2003, I think, uses the
above syntax
Win2000: dfsutil /view:\\domain\share (I think this is the syntax
for Win2000 - its been awhile)

| Hi team,
Sorry sample is domain name and '//sample//devteam is the share name.
Sample is also a DC. if i ping sample/nslokup it gives me only the dc's IP
address not the devteam share where it is hosted.

| Ping to find the subnet.
Then, remote desktop and right click the CD ROM. EJECT 
Look for the server with the coffee cup holder ready.

| Alternately, if it is an HP, open SmartStart and access the ACU. Don't change anything in the ACU!!!
Look for the server with blue lights on the HDs.
