RE: [ActiveDir] Urgent DFS Configuration

[Scott, Anthony]

Are you trying to access the folders that DFS created or the actual shares themselves? See this (it applies to 2003 also): http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q246888     Thanks, Anthony Scott Microsoft Consultant Mobile 616-481-9722 | Desk 616-464-6369 | [EMAIL PROTECTED]   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ibarra, Juan Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 2:42 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Urgent DFS Configuration   That would be 2.   Juan   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Almeida Pinto, Jorge de Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 10:11 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Urgent DFS Configuration   which server hosts the stand alone root? server 1 or 2?   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ibarra, Juan Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 17:34 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Urgent DFS Configuration Importance: High All,   I need some input on DFS.   I am trying to set up DFS on a file server, well in reality two.  I am configuring server1 with a standalone root, when asked for the “host” server I enter server2 and select the share drive I want to use.  I then create DFS links to subfolders and they create just fine.   The problem: When I try to access the links I created I can’t “Access Denied” even though I share the folders in advance with appropriate permissions, and of course at this point the security tab from the shares disappears. So I can’t make changes, and when I go and try to open from DFS I get an error “Failed to launch explorer home at \\pathname.  I also rebooted both servers and when they come up the DFS root is gone from server1 but remains on server 2 along with all the DFS links.   Please let me know what I am doing wrong.   Thanks, Juan     This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.
