Report Subscription to an Netapp CIFS share fails-Collection of common programming errors

We have a Netapp 2240 and use it for our corporate shares. We are attempting to write to this using a SSRS Windows File Share report subscription.

When we use the IP of the device, the report is written to the CIFS share without issue. When we use the DNS A record or CNAME we get the following error -> Failure Writing File: \\SERVER\SHARE\FOLDER\FILE_NAME. The network path was not found.

If we use a Native windows share we do not see this behaviour, the file writes to the share without issue.

Has anyone seen this and can you explain it or provide a better solution than hard coding the IP address in the share path?

Thanks,

Shawn
