I do not have a DFS Diagnostic Report since I can't get replication to work.  I assume the node is not available unless replication is configured on at least 2 targets.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a Windows 2008 R2 setup with Windows 2008 Forest and Domain level and Windows 2008 R2 File servers. &nbsp;I setup a Namespace on my domian and 2 target folders on 2 different file servers. &nbsp;I am trying to replicate between those and I get a wierd error that I can't track down how to fix.<br />
<br />
&quot;The following folder targets cannot be added as a DFS Replication members. &nbsp;Click Details for more information.<br />
<br />
Details:<br />
<br />
&quot;\\servername\applications<wbr />$<br />
Domain\Servername$: The Windows NT 4.0 account name cannot be converted to a fully qualified distinguished name on DCNAME.FQDN &nbsp;The name returned with an error&quot;<br />
<br />
I can't see anything in the event log and everything i have tried has failed:<br />
<br />
1. &nbsp;Remove the file server and re-add to domain.<br />
2. &nbsp;Ensure File Replication service is on.<br />
3. &nbsp;Change the share name.<br />
4. &nbsp;Check share permissions.<br />
5. &nbsp;Server is resolvable both NETBIOS and DNS<br />
6. &nbsp;Share can be reached.<br />
<br />
<br />
What else can I do or look at?
