hi imprise,

when installed on dfs clients in windows server 2003 r2, dfsutil.exe can used view , clear referral cache (pkt cache), domain cache (spc cache), , mup cache.

below syntax windows server 2003 r2:

dfs clients cache portions of dfs namespace (pkt) duration of time specified in distributed file system manager , referred time live (ttl). dfs version 4.1, pkt cached hard-coded 7 (7) days. servers running windows 2000 use 1800 seconds (30 minutes) default ttl. microsoft dfs clients delete pkt given folder in dfs tree if not accessed ttl expiration or when client rebooted, whichever occurs first.

dfsutil /spcflush                                  (dfsutil cache domain flush)

forces client fetch latest information on trusted domains , domain controllers, when client programs try access corresponding link or root.

dfsutil /purgemupcache                     (dfsutil cache provider flush)

clears client mup cache, preventing confusion current provider when such names conflict. except temporary performance hit, command has no other adverse effects.
