Administrative Installation point on DFS share?

D

Dylan

My organization appears to move it's file servers all of the time, and my
admin install point for Office (XP,2003, Project,etc) has to move with it. I
have a DFS share \\domainname\share\install that I want to use for my admin
install points. It appears not to work because, perhaps, the local machine
account doesn't recognize DFS? The permissions on the server that that DFS
share is pointing to are correct (all domain computers have access to that
Install share). Is it a limitation of DFS? Or should I use some other tool to
tell all of my clients who are using GPO software instsalls to go to a
different physical server, and abandon trying to use DFS?

I'm not sure if Group Policy 'supports' an admin install point on a DFS.
I'm copying that newsgroup on this post...maybe we'll get confirmation one
way or the other.
