Problem creating DFS rootsHello
We have a problem creating domain DFS roots which we can't resolve. We have AD running on two or our Win 2003 servers. We can create stand alone DFS roots which work fine, but would like to have the DFS integrated with AD. When we try to create a domain root, at the final stage of the process it comes back with the error; "The following error occured when creating DFS root on server xxx-xxx; The specific domain either does not exist or could not be contacted." The domain obviously exists as we have 200 users logging in to it every day! DNS is running on one of the servers with AD on it, and an nslookup of the domain name returns the IP address of the first server that has the DNS and AD on it. Does anyone know why we can't create domain DFS roots and/or how to go about sorting this? Thanks Chreag Anderson CTSU University of Oxford This questin would probably be best asked in the DFS groups. I have copied

I am logged in as the Domain Administrator. Both DCs have the DFS service running There is no firewall or port blocking on the DCs If I do an nslookup on the domain name it replies with one of the DCs The NetBIOS setting is at default. We have static IP addresses so this should default to use NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

We have 2 DCs and it is the other one that is the PDC operations Master. They are running in Windows 2000 native mode. I can do an nslookup on the domain name and it returns the name of the other DC Thanks Chreag Anderson Show quoteHide quote "Jorge de Almeida Pinto [MVP]" wrote: > Is that server XXX-XXX you PDC emulator? > > -- > > Cheers, > (HOPEFULLY THIS INFORMATION HELPS YOU!) > > # Jorge de Almeida Pinto # MVP Windows Server - Directory Services > > BLOG --> http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/jorge/default.aspx > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > * This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties and confers no rights! > * Always test before implementing! > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > "Chreag Anderson" <Chreag Ander***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in > message news:FF99125A-ECD7-4770-B9FF-BBC4C856C068@microsoft.com... > > Hello > > We have a problem creating domain DFS roots which we can't resolve. > > We have AD running on two or our Win 2003 servers.
