DFS errors 13544 / 13552

[Graham Turner]

Dear All, have never sure best place to be posting questions on DFS - so
apologies for this item also posted to the file system newsgroup.

am trying to diagnose and remedy errors returned by NTFRS (on Windows 2000
/ sp3)

error codes are 13544 / 13552

given the DFS is not in production have been able to take the corrective
action of removing all replicas of the DFS link / the DFS root itself

this procedure seems to have left behind some data in the Active Directory
(as i view from the advanced features of AD users and computers ) in the
following folder;

...\SYSTEM\DFS-volumes\DFS\linkname CNF followed by a whole load of
characters

the link name is that which is referenced in the events listed above and the
removal of this data from the Active Directory would seem to be key to the
resolution of the problem

can i please get instruction on how to remove this obviously erroneous AD
data

ntfrsutl / dfsutil ?????

Thanks

GT

If you have already removed the links, replicas and the root out of the DFS
GUI, then you can simply delete the object in AD Users and Computers you
were referring to. I would also run the dfsutil /clean:server-name as well
to remove any registry settings that may be lingering.
