Failure to create new DFS namespaces

Hi,

I was failure to create new DFS namespaces. It showed "RPC unavailable".

Existing namespaces is no problem. Otherwise, new folder under existing namespace also succeeded.

I found namespaces not created but new record added to "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Dfs\Roots\domainV2"

May I know it's related to domain controller or DFS ?

How can I trace and solve it ?

Thanks

    Hello there,

    Examine the Windows Event Logs, especially the System and Application logs, for any error messages related to RPC or DFS namespace creation. These logs may provide additional information about the problem.

    If you cannot find anything in Event Viewer I would suggest you use tools like Procmon to find the root cause for this behaviour.

    You can also use built-in Windows tools like "rpcping" and "dcdiag" to diagnose RPC connectivity issues. These tools can help identify problems with RPC communication.

    Confirm that the "RPC Endpoint Mapper" service is running. This service is responsible for mapping RPC protocol sequences to the appropriate endpoints.

    Hope this resolves your Query !!
