Add support for DFS shares
See original GitHub issueHello,
I am getting this error when I try to used it with my File Server. On the Microsoft doc it seems related to STATUS_PATH_NOT_COVERED. Im trying with the full DFS share name but impossible. Is smbprotocol support DFS ? Or any idea of what should I used ?
smbprotocol.exceptions.SMBResponseException: Received unexpected status from the server: (3221226071) UNKNOWN_ENUM: 0xc0000257
Impossible to list the root of any share and any directories from share.
Thank for your hints 😃

The only other python library I know that does SMB is pysmb but that does not support it.
DFS support is quite complex and not easy to implement. There’s a reason why it doesn’t work in a lot of 3rd party libraries. You can try and resolve one of the ~time~ file servers behind your DFS name then you can access it like any normal SMB server.
Unfortunately smbprotocol does not yet support DFS, it may work in some situations but things like referrals of when the DFS path is for a folder/file on another server it will fail. It’s something I do want to add at some point in the future but this is not a trivial task. Just looking at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-dfsc/1ff7d611-ba19-49fb-95f4-7c5358b86834 shows you how many branching steps there are.
I will edit the issue title to better reflect this as a request to support DFS.
