Hello rkovelman,

Do you have a domain based namespace or a standalone namespace? Are these 3
locations on the same or different subnets? First look into your subnets.
and then
If you are using domain based dfs and the dc are the roots,
I will edit registry key to include
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Dfs
"PreferLogonDC" dword:value of 1. This will force users to use location 3 dc
as their default dfs shares.
