Dfs

[suderman]

During creation of Dfs root on PDC I get the message:
"The following error occured while creating Dfs root on
server <servername>:
Cannot create a file when that akready exists"

How get rid of that message and create Dfs root ?

Suderman,

Odds are this server was set up as a DFS Root before and it has some
references to it left over in the registry. If this is the case, you can
run the following command on that server to clean the dfs root references
out of the registry:

dfsutil/ clean:servername

Once this has been done, you should be able to recreate the DFS Root.

I hope this helps.
