For example, you try to connect to a share on the file server by using its DNS CNAME alias as in the following: When an application or user uses the CNAME alias for files or other resources on the server that's using SMB, and you try to connect to a share on the file server with its DNS CNAME alias. When an application or user uses the actual storage name (the NetBIOS name or the FQDN) for files or other resources on the server that's using SMB, access is successful.
