I am creating a folder and target path -- \\yourdomain\dfsroot\folde<wbr />rname served by \\oldfileserver\foldername<wbr />. &nbsp;I have full permission (NTFS, although not Share Permission) to the target (on the old file server) -- yet still receive an error. &nbsp;DFS is running on a 'new' file server. Hope that helps.<br />
Thanks.
