Hi all,

After doing some test with the DFS system, I removed a folder and Windows
warn me about the fact this folder was shared.
I said yes: unshare it please.

The fact now is that the DFS root is still existing (\\domain\sharename)

and when trying to delete, enter, change or whatever, I have the message
saying that the Link does not exist...

How can I remove this virtual link from the list of my available roots?
If I try to do a dfscmd /unmap \\DFSName\DFSShareName\Path

It gives me the error: There is no DFS name whose entry path matches the
input Entry Path.

Any ideas?

TIA

Can you recreate the folder, delete the DFS root, then delete the folder
again?
