RE: [ActiveDir] Urgent DFS Configuration

[Almeida Pinto, Jorge de]

a stand alone root cannot have more than 1 root server (unless on a cluster)..... only a domain based root can have more than one root server   that is why I ask the Q below   Met vriendelijke groeten / Kind regards, Ing.

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.
