I am setting up Dfs on my W2000 network. I have 2 servers both running W2000 server. I create a Dfs root on server2. Create a Dfs link on server2 pointing at the shared folder on Server1 I wish to link and replicate with. I go to the folder in Dfs and the replication selection on the Action menu is greyed out. I try to browse to the Dfs shared link folder on server2 that I have just created and it say access denied when I try and look at it. I am a domain admin. Thoughts on my current problem? I am new to Dfs and have the instructions from Tech Net but they are unclear. Any good step by step instructioins for setting up Domain Dfs with replication?

Try this:
1)
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, then click Distributed File System.

2)
In the Dfs console tree, right-click the existing Dfs root that you want to replicate and select New Root Replica.

3)
The New Dfs Root Wizard guides you through the process of replicating the Dfs root
