DFSUtil /AddFtRoot does'nt Work


hi

let me explain case. have de namespace configured in windows2008 forest , domain level. dfs namespace @ windows 2008 level. set scalability optimization.

everything works fine.. folder , linked folders seen, can map on then. no error message, whatsoever.

when adding namespace server in name space the  mmc console no problem @ all. no way add command line tool dfsutil /addftroot

here's command line use : dfsutil  /addftroot /server:xsrv01 /share:xdfstest /verbose

we tried prexisting share (xdfstst) , without same result : 
servershare.getpathstring() = \\xsrv01\xdfstestcmdaddroottarget(): dfsnamespace = \\w2008.root.tst\xdfstestcould not execute command successfully.

we tried server fqdn without improvement, thought dns doesn't seems problem anywhere.
the version rtm (rc1 shows same behavior)
all nameservers on same network , ad site.

the "funny" thing : if add manualy, using mmc console, server namespaceserver works fine , charm , can remove nameserver using "brother" command : dfsutil /remftroot !

last not least : firewall "off" .. 

any idea ?

hi all

well  has found need.

we used wrong command. add server server in namespace instead of addftroot command must

dfsutil target /add %dfsrootshareontargetserver% ... that's

ie : dfsutil target /add \\srv01\dfsprivate ... fqdn domain name automaticaly found tool using  share name..

of course share must exists before on target server

not self explain ;-)

cheers
