在主域与子域之间的DFS服务

I have a domain called test.com, its subdomain is win.test.com, the primary domain controller is dc.test.com, and the subdomain controller is sdc.win.test.com. The primary domain server is DFS namespace and DFS replication, and the child domain controller is DFS replication. When I configured the DFS service between the two controllers, the primary domain controller displayed that the shared folder of the child domain controller could not retrieve the server operating system version when creating the replication group. The network path could not be found.
But my primary domain controller can access the shared folder of the child domain controller through the UNC path. Why is this? How should DFS be configured between different domains in the same forest?
I am using Windows Server2016

    Hi,

    Replication groups can span across domains within a single forest but not across different forests.
    Install the DFS replication service on both the servers.

    So if your environment is a healthy status, it should be ok to create the DFS-replication group.

    So i would suggest you check if the trust is working well .
