I'm 90% sure that it is only needed during creation. Sean Rector, MCSE

When you create the root, even though it's a stand-alone they still need AD rights. Does the root need the account/password afterwards to work, or just during the first creation? I take it there is a DFS service that runs it, but does that service need to run as the domain admin account (which is way-to-much) privileges for something that is only doing data synchronization.

I'd guess that they need the AD rights.

They are claiming its asking them for Active Directory permissions accordingly. Any hints on what might be the hang-up. Sorry a DFS noob here, don't use the stuff that much therefore not sure what his issue might be. But I am not going to extend my AD schema with Win2k8 objects just to get his DFS root running if that is what its going to take.

Does anyone know?
