Not able to create DFS namespace in a completely new forest

OS: Windows server 2016 DFL: 2003 FFL: 2003 DFS role on member server creating very first namespace server - Errors in : The object identifier does not represent a valid object.

Have already tried clearing the container in ADSIedit, Clearing Registry keys:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DfsHost
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DfsDriver\LocalVolumes
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfs\Roots\Domain\xxx
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\serivces\LanmanServer\Shares

and tried re-creating but it fails.

What could be stopping it for namespace creation?? any ideas, two days already spent on this.

and another thing is why do sometimes I keep getting RPC server unavailable?? Windows Firewall is off.

Would really appreciate the suggestions.

  • I guess you have a trust between your forest ? is it working good ? (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2003/cc737447(v=ws.10)) – yagmoth555 Aug 08 '18 at 13:18
  • Trust is good but I am not sure trust will cause any issue in creating DFS namespace – Roc mail520 Aug 08 '18 at 18:04
