SYMPTOMS
If you set the Distributed File System (DFS) referral cache to have a Time to Live (TTL) update time that is other than 240 seconds, the DFS referral cache ignores this setting and updates after 240 seconds.



CAUSE
The DFS referral cache update time is designed to update after a TTL update period of 240 seconds for the Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows XP, and Microsoft Windows 2000 operating systems. This is true even when you manually set the DFS referral cache to have a TTL update time that is other than 240 seconds.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section of this article.
