WXA: What are the local and remote server names when configuring Windows File Shares in WFS Acceleration on WXA Appliances
Resolution
What are local server and remote server names when configuring Windows File Shares in WFS Acceleration on WXA Appliances and how to map the shares.
Consider a deployment where at head quarters there is a Domain Controller, DNS Server and 2 file servers. Remote Office has no local domain controller, DNS server, File Servers. Users at remote office access the resources at the head quarters via Site-Site VPN.
WXA-4000 is the host name of WXA at Head Quarters and WXA-2000 is the host name of WXA at remote office. Separate Service Principles Names (SPNs) are created for WXA-4000 and WXA-2000 for CIFS services that will be used to map File Shares on additional file servers. For more information on how to create additional SPNs, please refer to the following Microsoft Knowledgebase article.

Head Quarter Name Mapping: Remote Office Name Mapping
---------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------
Hostname WXA-4000 is used for FileServer1 Mapping Hostname WXA-2000 used for file server1 mapping
Hostname WXA-4000-GMS is used for FileServer 2 Mapping Hostname WXA-4000-GMS is used for FileServer 2 Mapping
In this example, Clients at remote use \wxa-2000 to access shares on FileServer1 and \wxa-2000-gms to access shares on FileServer2
