Hi We have a two node file share cluster running windows 2012 r2 standard.
we have configured two aliases in DNS(Cname) to access the clustered shares. the aliases point to the host record for the cluster resource (fileserver)
i have added the aliases in the cluster parameters using :
Get-ClusterResource <resource name>|Set-ClusterParameters Aliases "Alias1,Alias2"
Below is the issue description:
- Fileshares can be opened via alias 1 from all computers, irrespective of the OS.
- Fileshares can be opened via Alias 2 only from windows 7 , windows 2008, windows 2008R2 and windows 2012 servers. we get an error while trying to open the shares from windows 2003 server:
"\\Sharename is not reachable . you might not have the permission to use this network resource. contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
Logon Failure: the target account name is incorrect."
please note: the "Alias2" which we are using was a computer added to domain earlier, which is shutdown now as the shares are migrated to the new server. we have removed its A record from DNS and replaced with Cname of the same name, but the computer object is still present in the AD".
please help on this as we are stuck with this issue.
thanks in advance.
