I created my first DFS Share, going step by step by Microsoft instructions.
Without any problems, I was able to create the share, and the DFS Share.
When I go to test it, I cannot connect. I get the error:
The RPC Server is unavailable.
I am however, able to connect to the \\server\share without any issues.
So, I went back into DFS, to manage the DFS Share, and I get the same error.
So now I can't remove it or modify it.
Help?
