I am new to Distributed File Systems and was testing some configurations out to see how it worked, and I figured out Rule #1 of DFS:
- Do NOT DFS use a Namespace name that already exists as a network share.
I created a namespace in DFS and was going to link some specific folders from a share so i gave the Namespace the same name as the share. I did not realize that network shares were published as \\domain\share\ as well \\server\share\. Now I have this share that does not allow access to anyone. I can see the folder exist on the server and I can access it. I can also access it from the drive hidden share [\\server\c$\folder\].
I am not sure where to look to fix this. I have deleted and namespace and uninstalled DFS from my server. Now when I try to access it, it says I don't have permission.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
