Hi folks,

I am new here and I could really use some advice please.

I am having a problem with our file server. When I try to browse the shared folders using explorer, several of the shared folders all appear to have the same name. Whenever I attempt to rename one of the affected folders, all the affected folders name also change.

Our File Server is Windows Server 2003 R2.

I am logged on directly to the server using remote desktop.

When I open the folder all is as it should be, the proper content is there and the address bar displays the correct folder name and path. The share names are correct, so everything that needs to access the shared folder/files can do so.

Also when I browse to the folder using the command-line all it as it should be there too.

The only issue seems to be the incorrect display name when browsing using explorer.

Can anyone offer any advice or help as to how to resolve this issue please? It would be most appreciated.

Thanks
