Hello,
I have 2 new server 2012 r2 VM files servers (FS1 and FS2) which are operating in a failover cluster (FS-CL1). There is a single clustered disk (E:) which contains the file shares and is passed back and forth between the file servers as it should depending
on availability.
I'm attempting to create a namespace such that instead of having my users browse \\fs-cl1\share1 to connect to the shares located on the clustered disk, I'm hoping to achieve a domain based namespace (\\MYDOMAIN.COM\share1) using DFS Namespace.
When walking through the new dfs namespace wizard on either FS1 or FS2 I can create the share namespace fine if the share is located on the local disk C: of either machine. If I configure the namespace to point to a location on E: I'm prompted with an error:
"\\MYDOMAIN.COM\share1: The namespace server \\FS1\share1 cannot be added. This shared resource does not exist"
Any help would be great appreciated.
Thanks.
