SYMPTOMS
When you try to connect to a Distributed File System (DFS) link target from a DFS root, you may receive one of the following error messages. This problem also occurs when you try to map drives to DFS roots.

If you double-click a link in a shell folder, you may receive the following error message:

Title: dfsroot on  Text: \\\dfsroot\link is not accessible.

The folder was moved or removed.

[ OK ]

If you click Start, click Run, type a link path (for example, \\ \dfsroot\link ), and then click OK, you may receive the following error message:

Title: \\\dfsroot\link Text: Cannot find the file '\\\dfsroot\link' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available.

[ OK ]

If you try to get a directory listing from the command prompt, the result shows the link itself, instead of an error message. For example:

c:\>dir \\\dfsroot\link Directory of \\\dfsroot\link

link            link 0 file(s)     0 bytes 0 dir(s)

If a logon script (batch file) references a link path for a mapped drive, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following example:

Title: Windows NT Logon Script Text: This program has performed an illegal operation and will be terminated. Quit all programs, and then restart your computer.

If the program consistently encounters problems, click the Start button, then select Help, Troubleshooting, and 'If you have trouble running MS-DOS programs'.

[ OK ]    [ Details >> ]

The program encountered an invalid page exception. Fault location:        0028:0009 Interrupts in service: None

[ OK ]

After you receive this error message, the operating system may stop unexpectedly and the following error message may appear on a blue screen:

                              Windows

An exception 0E has occurred at 0028:???????? in VxD IFSMGR(01) + 0000????. The current application will be terminated.

* Press any key to attempt to continue. * Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart your computer. You will lose any unsaved information in all applications.

Press any key to continue
