DFS Problem

[netbios]

Hi

I have added new domain controller, modified the registry as per
Q244380. I then created new Domain Root and tried to add DFS link got
this error message:

The following error occurred while creating the DFS link:
There is no volume whose entry path matches the input Entry Path
(System error 2662 has occurred)

I have mapped this to be
NERR_DfsNoSuchVolume There is no volume whose entry path matches the
input entry path. 2662
One of the records in the internal Dfs database is
corruptNERR_DfsVolumeDataCorrupt 2662

Nothing in the eventlogs or other places...

Any idears?
Victor

Hi,

1) If you added a root target to an existing root, you need to read the
following article:

Note When you are using either the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) or
dfscmd to update the DFS links, you may receive an error that says that the
links could not be updated if the DFS is domain based. In a domain-based DFS
scenario, use the following steps to enable the use of FQDNs in DFS
referrals:
1.. Remove all DFS root replicas for the domain-based DFS.
2.. Make the registry change as noted in the "To enable fully qualified
domain names in Dfs" procedure earlier in this article.
3.. Re-create the domain-based DFS.
2) If you creating a new domain based root., the registry key must be set on
the *root server* and not the DC (unless the DC is the root server).

If this does not solve your issue, please tell me how exactly did you create
the root and attempted creating the links.
