SYMPTOMS
When you use Dfs Administrator to add a directory to a distributed file system (Dfs) share, you may receive an error message indicating that the volume cannot be created.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur when the directory you selected contains files. You can add only empty directories to a Dfs share; you cannot use an existing share or directory that contains files as a Dfs share.



RESOLUTION
Either select an existing empty directory, or create a new directory to use as a share point by typing a new, unused directory name.
