DFS Namespace creation problem on Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi,

I was testing out DFS name spaces and have everything I want working in a test namespace.  I went to create one for production use and now I get an error:

\\local.domain\data: The namespace cannot be queried.  The RPC server is unavailable

I tried the solutions listed in KB2021914 but they do not seem to be really relevant to my situation as I am using Windows DNS services from my AD servers.  Regardless the entries it suggested I make in the hosts file did not resolve my problem.

I am not sure this is relevant but namespace servers are my DC's and do not serve up any data.  It is all on 3rd party NAS servers (which are running some form of FreeBSD I believe) and some servers running Oracle linux 6.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

One thing is our office just moved and when I booted the AD servers the network configuration was severely screwed.  I had to edit the registry to remove a weird double entry for the default gateway.

Hugh
