hi,

when creating dfs namespace \\domain\sharea, create folder under c:\dfsroots named "sharea" (by default). please check if have permission create folder dfsroots , subfolder under dfsroots.

, if issue still exists, check permission of dfsr folder under system volume information folder. hidden folder , may need take ownership in order access it.
