Cannot expand DFS Namespaces

Hello,

We have 5 dfs namespaces and when I try to expand them from the DFS server I get the error: The namespace cannot be queried. The RPC server is unavailable.  I already rebooted the server, restarted RPC and DFS services. This is the first time it happens. I have always been able to expand them and add/edit them. We are able to access the namespaces from windows explorer as we use those namespaces to access our files.

Thank you in advance!

I had actually just ran it from my computer and it did not find any errors. I also ran it from the DFS Server and it said: DFSDIAG_ERROR - SYS - Access is denied.
What results do you get when you try a ping by name to one of the namespaces?

I just logged in as a different user and ran the command you sent again which showed no errors and then I expanded the Namespaces and they are showing again. Thank you for your help.
