Problem : W2K3 Event ID 12317

The application log is showing

“File Server Resource Manager failed to enumerate share paths or DFS paths.  Mappings from local file paths to share and DFS paths may be incomplete or temporarily unavailable.  FSRM will retry the operation at a later time.

Error-specific details:
Error: (0x8007054b) The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

Error: (0x80045306) The specified path is invalid……”

The error appears at least hourly and sometimes more frequently. It appears independent of applications running or not.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SrmSvc\Settings\DisableSearchDfs to 1

Please remeber to reboot the server where you have applied this change.
