This could indicate that this is a server that is AD only. When AD first came out there was a domain services emulation mode which I would expect to work with smbclient (fortunately never had any reason to try it :-) ). However, this mode was only there to enable domain services based people to migrate to AD, and I believe support is being phased out by M$. AFAIK smbclient/smbfs etc does not support full AD connectivity and is really only useful for legacy systems. I do think those who for one reason have these legacy windows setups are going to need to reconsider how they deal with them in future. Most of the reports I have seen indicate smbfs is regarded as buggy and there seem to be a consensus that rather than fix the bugs, building something without the bugs (i.e. cifs) is the way forward. Unfortunately, cifs is geared towards a later version of M$ networking which is not very compatible with earlier versions. (You know who to blame for this :-) ) In regard to DFS shares there does seem to be some indication support is not yet implemented in cifs if the following is anything to go by... http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/96509133/m/789009920931 As M$ do seem to keep introducing new services within AD and changing the goalpost maybe a matrix indicating which tools work with which windows/samba versions would help clear some of the confusion I have seen in the last couple of days.
