Cannot create new namespace. The specified path is invalid

$
0
0

setup:

- 2008 R2 Standard SP1 File Server

- 2008 R2 functional domain level.  Domain controllers are separate servers from the file server here.  

- 500GB iSCSI LUN attached.  Partitioned into D:\ (300GB)  D:\Data\ABCD (100GB)  D:\Data\WXYZ (100GB)

DFS is setup like this:

\\domain.local\test  and it points to D:\Data\Test
\\domain.local\abcd and it points to D:\Data\ABCD

Now i am trying to add another namespace:  \\domain.local\wyxz and point it to D:\Data\WXYZ, but when i go to add the namespace it comes back with "the specified path is invalid"

If i change the mount point for this 100GB partition to D:\WXYZ i get the same error.  If remove that mount point and assign a drive letter, i have no issues creating the DFS namespace, but i would rather not do that if i don't have to.

Any ideas on what i am doing wrong?  TIA.
