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.
