| If canonical names are resource records that allows you to use more than one name to point to a single host is it possible to map a drive using the CNAME? | |

| Hmm... That is an interesting question. I know by default in a Windows 2000 AD envrionment, DNS is the first method of name resolution.
I think it may be possible but I have to try that out tonight when I go home. | |

| The dialogues that you create CNAME records in are fairly restrictive in what you can input. Try it out!? | |

| I was able to find a server the uses a CNAME on my corporate network. It is possible to map using CNAMES. | |

| To map a shared drive though? From what I saw when I ran through the process, you have to input or browse to a FQDN, like server01.contoso.com., not a UNC like \\server01\sharename.
I have attempted several variations of the data in the CNAME record and it doesn't yield any usefull result. If you get it to do what you want, let us know. | |

| The server with an alias on my network is a Unix server. It's A record is Norman and its CNAME record is ftp. I can map using either \\Norman\share name or \\ftp\share name. | |

| Okay, I guess my read of the original question was flawed. Yeah, sure what you illustrate does work. Cool! | |

| The original question came from one of those 216 q and a's and it said you can't but this was one a friend had e-mail I don't know were he got it more than likely one of those cheep, no name, worthless piece of *^#@& MCSE braindumps. Sorry I just believe only way to get your cert's is good old study and
lab work. |
