All,

 

I need some input on DFS.

 

I am trying to set up DFS on a file server, well in reality two.  I am configuring server1 with a standalone root, when asked for the “host” server I enter server2 and select the share drive I want to use.  I then create DFS links to subfolders and they create just fine.

 

The problem:

When I try to access the links I created I can’t “Access Denied” even though I share the folders in advance with appropriate permissions, and of course at this point the security tab from the shares disappears. So I can’t make changes, and when I go and try to open from DFS I get an error “Failed to launch explorer home at \\pathname.  I also rebooted both servers and when they come up the DFS root is gone from server1 but remains on server 2 along with all the DFS links.

 

Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

 

Thanks,

Juan
