Create DFS NameSpace that has never been created before through the command line

 

we have tried create dfs namespace dfsutil , dfscmd no avail.  have ideas on how create dfs namespace has never been created before through command-line?

hello,

 

the following  syntax create windows server 2008 domain-based namespace if domain functional level 2008. if domain functional level 2000 or 2003, receive error , need add v1 namespace.
 
dfsutil root adddom \\srv1\domainnamespace1
 
the following command creates standalone namespace:

 

dfsutil root addstd \\srv1\standalonenamespace1
 
the following command creates windows 2000 server mode domain based namespace:

 

dfsutil root adddom \\srv3\domainnamespace3 v1
 
please note

 

when using dfsutil root adddom command syntax is:

 

dfsutil root adddom \\server\share [<version>] [<comment>]
 
the default setting creation of new namespace v2. examples:
 
dfsutil root adddom \\srv1\domainnamespace1 (this create windows server 2008 mode namespace)

 

dfsutil root adddom \\srv2\domainnamespace2 v2 (this create windows server 2008 mode namespace)

 

dfsutil root adddom \\srv1\domainnamespace3 v1 (this create windows 2000 server mode namespace)
