can not view it from the servers themselves (file servers or DC) or from our Windows XP SP3 PCs. We keep our servers and workstations patched and it seems to have stopped working
Dfs The Namespace Cannot Be Queried Element Not Found
about a month ago or so. We don't get into it very often since it basically runs itself, so I am really unsure exactly when it stopped working.The only error we get is 'RPC Server is Unavailable'. There are not any event logs generated including in the File Replication Service logs in Event Viewer. It does seem that everything is still replicating fine, but the namespace cannot be queried a directory service error has occurred we need to use it for another job and we can no longer access it.I've been searching for a resolution for several days now and there are plenty of articles relating to RPC Server problems, but none that address this situation.NOTE: I have verified RPC Server IS running on all the servers in question.Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!Thanks!

I can't see from your initial message whether you specifically looked for the DFS service or on which machines you checked.The next thing to check is whether, for the problem namespace(s), one of the root targets is downed or was otherwise decommisioned without removing it from the namespace. If you access the root: dir \\domain\namespacethis should prime the DFS cache to guarantee that the management console will find a live target to do management operations on. It is possible there is a problem in failing over from a downed target in the management p

SYSTEM ERROR - Element not found. These namespaces will be marked with red "X" icon in the https://techjourney.net/dfs-namespace-cannot-be-queried-error-remove-delete-orphaned-namespace/ DFS Management tool. Once it's determined that the namespace is having error, the ability to create new folder, delegate management permissions, delete and view properties is removed from the available actions. It also hinder the ability to create and add new namespaces, especially if you want to replace the namespaces with the same name. The issue occurred because the affected domain-based namespaces that gave error have been removed from the namespace server that is hosting the namespaces, but are not deleted from AD DS namespace configuration. In other words, the namespace is orphaned. Distributed File System (DFS) Namespaces service stores configuration data in several locations, namely: Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) stores domain-based namespace configuration data in one or more objects that contain namespace server names, folder targets, and various other configuration data. The namespace servers maintain shares for each namespace hosted. The registry keys on the domain-based namespace servers store namespace memberships. Thus, if the DFS namespace configuration data stored in these locations is not in sync, is missing or inaccessible, you may be unable to manage the namespace, in addition to be bo
