How to remove EVERYTHING from a DFS root |
|
|
Hi,
i made a DFS root, and when i tried to remove it completely, i got the error
message: "The indicated server share does not support the indicated dfs
namespace".
dfsutil said it's system error 2665.
how can i COMPLETELY remove the existing (ad integrated) DFS root, so i can
rebuild a new dfs root on that server?
thx a lot in advance and already a horribly great new year! :)

Hi!
You can use adsiedit and look into your domain partition,system,
dfs-configuration.
Look for your "once" created DFS root...
Can you tell us what OS are you using? W2k i presume?...
Hope it helps!
Regards

Hello Nian!
the OS is indeed W2K SP4, on the domain cipkmo.be(CIPKMO).
also weird is that when i start dfsgui.msc, it appears emtpy, but when i add
the created dfs root \\cipkmo\profiles$, it appears in the list, but is
unavailable when i try to remove it.
i've already checked the domain - system - dfs configuration container with
adsiedit, but it's completely empty...
or do i have to do something special to see the content of the dfs config
container?
also, i removed all the entries in (after a backup of that portion of) the
registry that contain info about the dfs share; then i get an error about
missing stuff about the share, so that's not the way...
thx again,
Serge |

Are you running as a user with domain admin privileges? DfsUtil.exe
should be able to clean up old configurations.

Hi!
Have you tried using the Dfsutil /clean command?
That usually solves the issue has Richard has pointed.

Hello Renato, Richard,
The DFSUTIL /CLEAN didn't do the trick at first, but after a reboot of the
server, it worked. It seems to have been a weird combination of things(?)
Thx a lot, and have a great new year's eve!
greetz,
Serge |
