DFS not working

[joseph1475]

I just inherit project from another admin. Here is my issue and any help would be really appreciated. We have 2 DC running Windows 2000 AD as well as IIS. DFS is enabled on DCs for file replication. The admin added new hard drive to the servers as the C-drive was filling up. Once he added the drives and moved the share to the new drive DFS stop working. Is there anyway I can bring up DFS and point it to the new location without creating a new root? Please let me know.
Thank you

That's what DFS is for. Open up the DFS MMC and point the shares to the new server/shares.

Thanks for your response.
When I open DFS MMC I'm getting the following error. DFS root server could not be initialized. The server could not be located or it does not host DFS root. I verified the service is up and runnig.

Did the other admin happen to replace the drive containing the root DFS?

The rootDFS was on E-drive. He migrate the share from E to D (new). When I do dfsutil /view:\\domain\share I'm getting "System error 2 has occurred.
The system cannot find the file specified". Thanks again for your help

Hmm, well, to be honest I don't know. Clearly the error was that he moved the physical share from E to D but did not change the DFS first, thereby negating what DFS does (i.e. that was kind of dumb of him).

Have you searched Microsoft's site completely? If there's a way to do it, you'll find it there for sure.
