Situation
This problem is best described using the following example:
The Y: drive is mapped to a NetWare DFS junction and, as shown in Explorer's left-hand pane, can be expanded to show the junctions underneath (share01, share02, etc). This is all working correctly.
The Z: drive is mapped to an OES2 Linux DFS junction and, as shown in Explorer's left-hand pane, can NOT be expanded to show the junctions underneath (junction_to_Root, share01, etc). This is incorrect.
On Z: it can can be seen that the DFS subordinates are displayed on the right-hand side so they are there but the directory structure in the pane on the left-hand side cannot be expanded.
