DFS, Win2K and Snap Servers

[Mark Castelli]

We have a few remote systems with Snap Servers. The remote systems (lans)
are part of a large VPN network. The workstations and snap servers are part
of our AD Forest and Domain. I am trying to use DFS to replicate the data
on the Snap Server to our significantly larger NAS Box (for backup purposes
only). I was able to create the DFS Root and subsequent DFS Link. I was
even able to create the folder and replica. I can successfully check the
status of the shares. However, when I check the replication policy, the
replication policy reports "unknown: this computer name is invalid." The
replication status is unknown. This is only for the remote SNAP Server.

Snap Server name: ARNISNAP
Share: SHARED

Any assistance you can provide is appreciated.

It could be an authentication problem, snap servers does not support
NTLMv2

That is a good thought. However, I am able to browse to the server and
access the shares, logged as Administrator.
