I have a domain server mydomain.com and a DFS server which is part of mydomain.com. DFS server has a share with namespace //mydomain.com/Datashare, which points to a TestData folder inside the machine. TestData has few files 1.txt,2.txt.
When i access my DFS share on a windows machine it mounts the share and shows the folder TestData with files 1.txt and 2.txt.
When I access same share on my Mac machine it mounts the share and dispalys TestData folder. however it does not show any file inside this folder.
Someone discuss a solution of setting same search domain on Mac machine as AD sets on windows but that solution does not work for me.
Windows – When accessing the Windows DFS share on the Mac machine, it shows empty folder

In Mac AD domain join does not add any search domain that might be needed to access domain services. after adding search domain for AD Domain, system was able to show files inside DFS shared folders.
