In IDP Configuration it's necessary to define working folders for the DMAs.
The DMA has a failover setup using a shared hostname.
Accessing the shared folder however does not work using that shared hostname.

I found online that other people also had problems with shared folders using an 'alias' hostname, but I'm struggling to find the solution.  I'm looking for a Windows expert familiar with these commands and what they do.

I'm also not sure what proposed methods are safe to use on a DMA.
