| Hello
|
| Thank you for your feedback!
|
| - Question 1: If I understand your question (my English is not so good)
you
| are right, when starting the DFS root consolidation wizard, I had to
enter
| the server holding the DFS Roots manually in the field "DFS root server"
|
| - Question 2: I performed the test exactly as you described: Enter the
UNC's
| into the run field from the start menu.
|
| - The remote registry service is running on the DFS Root cosolidation
| server.
|
| But after spending a few hours to track down the problem, we had to go on
| and as a "workaround", we upgraded a Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition
on
| Location B to Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and configured the
DFS
| Roots on this server on location B.
|
| What we have found during troubleshooting was that the DFS root server
sent
| a data frame, Ptotocol NBT with a description "negative session response
-
| called name not present" to the client requesting the ressources from the
| old fileserver from the DFS root consolidation server. This data frame
was
| not present when requesting the same ressource from a client from
location
| A.
|
| If you are intersted in the Network capture, I can send it to you. But
fur
| us, the problem is solved for the moment.
|
| best reagrds,
| Franz
