Hello,
I'm fairly new to Windows 2008 R2 and here is my first post here. I'm attempting to create DFS namespace and associated replication groups. This configuration is simple and only contains two file servers. I'm logging in as a domain\domain admins group member user. Added the File Services Role to both servers. I can create the namespace and folders/targets/shares OK. However, when I attempt to create any replication group, coninutally get stuck at "Update folder security" error. The error reads "Security cannot be set on the replicated folder. The network location cannot be reached. for more information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help". I think I understand the basics but can't seem to get past this. My first thought was some sort of windows firewall issue. Checked the control panel and it reported the windows firewall was off. Yet I found the services started. same issue when the firewall service was stopped too. I've checked the share an ntfs permissions and they appear OK for domain admins. I'm puzzled. Any feedback or help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
