dfsutil.exe - Entry Point Not Found

I'm trying to run dfsutil.exe on one of my servers and I am getting an error:


dfsutil.exe - Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point TraceMessage could not be located in the dynamic link library ADVAPI32.dll.

Please advise.

Are you using the SP2 version?

Have you tried dfscmd.exe?

There is still a DFS root that remains on our server called DSRENTSD.  I am trying to get rid of it from the DSRENTSD server and I get the following errors:

1) The following error occurred during deleting the Dfs root on DSRAH-NT.  Do you want to forcibly remove the Dfs root?  The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

Yes

2) The following error occurred whiel deleting the Dfs root DSRAH-NT: The system cannot find the file specified.

OK

3) [back to first error]

Then I read that dfsutil could get rid of it, but it is not working.  


Yes.  I am using the SP2 version.

I just tried dfscmd.exe and got the message "The Dfs root volume cannot be deleted - Uninstall Dfs if required."

There are no DFS roots on DSRAH-NT or DSRENTAH.  I am only trying to get rid of the one on DSRENTSD.

Thanks.
Did you try "dfscmd.exe /restore"?
Also try:

From any client in the domain, run the DFSUTIL /unmap:\\Fully Qualified Domain Name\DFS Root name /ROOT:\\old server name\Share command.
From a command prompt on the renamed computer, run the following commands, pressing ENTER after each command:
DFSUTIL /clean:new computer name
DFSUTIL /reinit:new computer name
net stop dfs & net start dfs
