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.
