I've got a DFS folder: \\my.domain\Storage$ I'd like to map it to a particular Windows Server Core machine using the New-SmbGlobalMapping PowerShell command using specific credentials.

Alas, when I attempt to do so I get a The network name cannot be found error. I know for a fact that the network name itself is OK because I can simply cd from PowerShell into that DFS folder...

Any idea what's going on here?

See https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-Containers/issues/299.

Apparently this was intentional (not a bug) and the documentation was updated to reflect it. Unfortunately, there's no commitment to address this, just a "we may fix this" statement.

I can't find any reference to this issue in the New-SmbGlobalMapping docs online, and we don't update the built-in help, so I'm not sure if it's been addressed there.

There is a brief note in the Persistent Storage in Containers documentation, though.
