At this time we can't use Windows DFS shares for actions like copy files. Although we can set a system variable to the DFS share, we can only use this variable in scripts. We can't use the variable in copy files or other bundle actions.
The site is moving from mapped drives on 25 different servers that should be, but aren't always, consistent. They are implementing Microsoft DFS to have the data replicated to the sites from a golden copy. The DFS share cannot be used in the actions that we use to copy files to the workstations.
We are using a variety of Powershell scripts to do something that can be done in a single bundle action. This is more overhead for the administrators and opens the procedure to typos. Using DFS would be a great help.

This should be fixed in 11.4.2 with the FTF for bug 1002388 if I am not mistaken. With it in place we are able to use bundles that do copy file actions to and from DFS shares.
Would be really great if this could be fixed.
