I have four dfs root servers, none are domain
controllers. On one of the servers when I run the
command "dfsutil /root:\\domain\share /view", this server
SERVER2 shows "no site association" on itself. All the
other servers are displayed with their appropriate site.
When this same command is run from any of the other DFS
Root servers, they show SERVER2 in the appropriate site.
Users at SERVER2's site are randomly mapping to other DFS
root servers instead of the server at their local site.
The DFS share is enormous and will take days to replicate
again, so I want to fix this without recreating the
DFSRoot. Any ideas?

Try stopping and restarting the DFS service on SERVER2. The site information
is stored in the Active Directory alongside the DFS information, and the
fact that the other servers have it makes me believe it is there. I'm not
sure what could have happened to get SERVER2 out of sync.

I have the same problem and restarting the service did not help. I also
think this is related to the problem we just had crop up that doesn't let us
save MS Office XP docs through DFS. We just set up 3 sites. I have one
other DFS namespace and it displays the /view information correct from the
primary server.

Did the stop and start of the service help Jeff? Do I have to wait a while?
Is there a command line util I can use to get it back in sync?
Thanks,

I found a recommendation on MS site to run dfsutil /remftroot: and then
/addftroot: on the root target that is on that server and had no change.

I run gpresult and it shows that the server that hosts the root and the
shares is in the correct site. I just need a solution to get the DFS root
associated.
