dfs root problems

[FC]

So ... what do you mean ?

I need to share the directory used as root for the dfs
first and the point it to a map drive over the server
where the dfs will be defined ?

Could you explain me ? which procedure should I follow ?

thanks,
FC

If I'm understanding you correctly, the answer is you don't share a share.

A DFS target points to a (plain old regular) share, which in turn is of
course a physical location. So if you're creating the share itself the
"path to share" would need to be a physical location, as the error message
told you.

I think so, if I understand you correctly. Try doing it in two separate
steps.

1) Go to the folder in question and share it, like you would if DFS were not
even part of the plan. This creates \\server\share of course.

2) In the DFS interface create the new root making its target that share you
just created.
