When viewing a DFS share in OS X 10.7 or on a system that has been upgraded from 10.7 to 10.8 the sidebar is missing in finder.
However if a system has had a fresh install of OS X 10.8 the sidebar is visible in finder.
Is there a way to get the sidebar back in 10.7 or a system that has gone from 10.7 to 10.8?

I fixed this by changing the permissions on the DFS Namespace share. After allowing the proper group write permissions, the Finder Windows now save their settings properly.
