DFS folder target showing wrong site
We have 1 DFS server running 2008 R2, for some reason a few of the folder targets are showing the wrong site name. The ones that are showing incorrect when you go to the properties of the folder target and click share permissions it gives this error message: "Information about the shared folder cannot be retrieved. This shared resource does not exist". All the folder targets that show the correct site where the DFS server resides are working correctly. If you go on the server and view the shares in Server Manager, they work correctly. I have tried to delete the namespace and recreate it but it comes back with the wrong site name. I even tried creating a "test" namespace and it still using the wrong site name for the folder target. I can view the share folder permissions and ntfs permissions.We recently upgrade AD to functional level 2012, we aren't sure if this had anything to do with the issue we are now seeing.  I am at a complete lost why this is happening. Please help.

Hi,

I'm a little unclear about "site name" in your description. Do you mean a "server name"?

When I right click on a DFS path, there is no "share" tab. If I right click on the local folder and go to Sharing tab, it will show a network path.

If that is "server name", as all folder targets are manually added when setup DFS namespace, can you find out the exact server which shows incorrect?

And if it is the real "site name", it is defined in AD sites and  Services (on DC), so check if each server is in the correct site.

Sorry for any confusion.

If you expand the Namespace and select a folder under it, on the right you see this:

The site listed is not the site where the DFS resides. Nothing has changed in Sites and Services and everything is working correctly.

If you right click the folder target and select properties and in that window click Share Permissions this is the error I get.

All folder targets with incorrect site name stopped working, if the folder target has the site listed where the DFS server is located they work fine.

Hi,

Can you run the below command and provide the output

DFSDiag /TestSites /DFSPath:\\<domain name>\<Namespace>\<Folder> /Full

This is the output when I ran that command from the DFS server.

I masked some of the internal information. Thank you for responding. :)

Hi,

Is DC3 on correct site? Can you run dcdiag /e and post the result? Are you able to access the shared folder(the one which is giving problem) using UNC path?

Thanks,

Yes, DC3 is in the correct site within Sites and Services. I am able to browse the share using UNC path.

Here are the results from dcdiag /e ran on DC3, there are some alerts about DHCP scope but we can multiple subnets so they aren't really a issue.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looks like some client machines are not in the same site as DC3? Do you have shared folder in the same site as DC3? Can you run "nltest /dsgetsite" on all DC and provide the result? Also run repadmin /kcc, repadmin /showrepl and provide the result.

Please run the below commands

dfsdiag /testdcs /domain:<domain name>

DFSDiag /TestDFSConfig /DFSRoot:<namespace>

Thanks,

Yes, we have systems in both sites. No, we only have DFS running in Site 1.

What is odd is now when I click the namespace and on the right the folder targets that were showing the wrong site now say "Not Applicable (Namespace Root)".

I will post results from each Domain Controller for all the commands below in there own replies so they are easier to read through.

Thank you again for helping me with this issue.

As far as replication and dfsdiag report is concerned, things looks normal. Do you still see "Not applicable" after performing the above actions? Can you please re-post the current DFS namespace screenshot? Do you see any error event log?

Thanks,
