Domain – DFS 2008 (Distributed File System) Console Error

dfsdfs-rdomaindomain-controllerwindows-server-2008

I am trying to configure DFS with replication for my employer. We are primarily using Windows 2008 and 2008 R2 servers. I'm getting an error in my DFS Management Console. It is saying "ERROR \domain.local\xxxx: The namespace cannot be queried. Element not found" This may be due to the fact this DFS namespace was created a while back and some of the domain controllers that used to host this namespace are no longer in service. How do I go about fixing this issue?

Thanks,
Ryan

are you sure its not a dns issue, it could be a domain controller that's not been dc promo'd down cleanly
