I've got one server namely test03 (GC, DC, DNS). I created a Dfs
domain-root namely \\test.com.vn\data then add a link on test03
(C:\datatest).
from workstation I can access to \\test.com.vn\data but can not create
anything on it. It's report "access denied" when creating a new folder.
I've already check the permission (giving full permission for everyone)
but still can not solved this.
I am messing with these stuff about 2 week. Appriciate much if any one
can give me an advice. Many thanks!
To setup domain DFS you need to:
* Create domain DFS root (e.g. \\yourdomain.com\dfsroot) on a DFS root
server (server1.yourdomain.com)
* If needed, you can assign an addition dfs root server for that domain DFS
(server2.yourdomain.com) (for redundancy purposes)
* On both dfs root servers a local directory is needed which needs to be
shared for the dfs namespace (e.g. C:\DFSnamespace\DFSroot which is shared
as DFSroot)
(there is no need to setup replication between both servers for the DFS root
as no information should be stored right under the root folder)
* Create a DFS link (e.g. called DFSlink1) under the DFS root and assign a
folder (e.g. C:\DFSdata\DFSlink1 shared as DFSlink1) on a server that will
host the data (e.g. server1.yourdomain.com, in this case it is also on the
root server, but it can be on any other server)
* For redundancy purposes you can add an additional DFS link target. In that
case you add another server (e.g. server2.yourdomain.com, in this case it is
also on the root server, but it can be on any other server) On that same
servers a local folder is needed that should also be shared (e.g.
C:\DFSdata\DFSlink1 shared as DFSlink1)
One of the servers should assigned as the primary when setting up
replication for the DFS link DFSlink1. The NTFS permissions should be
configured on C:\DFSdata\DFSlink1 and on both servers you may need to
configure the share permissions of the DFS link.
On both DFS root servers on the local file system you will see something
like:
C:\DFSnamespace\DFSroot
C:\DFSnamespace\DFSroot\DFSlink1
This is just the namespace hosted on the DFS root servers. No data is in
there and there is no need to change permissions of those folders.
Although for w2k, it gives you an idea of what I said:

Hi Jorge,
Many thanks for your quick advise but after follow exactly your
instruction a few time, I'm still facing with the problem "Access
denied" when creating a New Folder or File... at the
\\dfsnamespace\dfslink. (I'm already set the share permission security
of dsflink shared folder C:\DFSdata\DFSlink1 to FULL ACCESS for
everyone)
Regards,
Long

the dfs path of the root is \\domain-dfs\dfsroot
the dfs path of the link is \\domain-dfs\dfsroot\dfslink
the latter is created in the DFS MMC by creating a new DFS link and
assigning link targets/folders

Hi Jorge,
Wow, I did it! Many thanks for your advise, it's working now after 02
weeks! The problem comes from my sharing dfs folder. By default windows
2003 only accept Read Only for network users, even the Share &
Securities properties is Full for Everyone! I solve this problem by
enable the the Full permission for network users.
But now I facing another issue that after I install Dfs, the dfslink
have 02 targets on it, both targets are on DCs and if one fail, is it
possible to config the replication topology menthod for maintain the
dfsworkspace for workstation using?
For my case the dfs install on DC01, dsfroot on DC01\dfsroot and dfs
link targets point to DC01\C:\share01 and DC02\C:\share02 and now I use
the "Full Mesh" topology replication menthod. The system working fine
but, if one of the DC01 or DC02 go down, the dfsworkspace
(\\domain.com\dfsroot\) can not accessible from workstations! Please
correct me or please can you share your experience about this issue.
Many thanks with best regards,
Long
Hello,
Thank you for posting.
Regarding the fault tolerance, I suggest you user the Domain DFS Root.
Domain root: A DFS namespace for which the configuration information is
stored in Active Directory. The path to access the root or a link starts
with the host domain name. Using Active Directory to publish this type of
DFS root enables the users in the domain to browse, locate, and access the
required share easily and quickly. A domain root can have multiple root
targets, which offers fault tolerance and load sharing at the root level.
To add a new root target, you can right click the original DFS root and
then click "New Root Target". Select another server to host the DFS root.
On your end, you can configure both DC01 and DC02 as root targets. If so,
the DFS system can also be accessed when one of the DCs is down.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
John Chen, MCSE, MCSA, MCDBA, MCSD
