"The request is not supported" error message when you try to create a second DFS domain root

When you try to create a second Microsoft Distributed File System (DFS) domain root on a Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition server, you may receive the following error message:

Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition supports only one DFS root per computer. Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Server and Windows Server 2003 Datacenter support multiple DFS roots per computer.

To resolve this issue, upgrade to Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Server Edition or Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition.

After you apply the update from Microsoft Knowledge Base article 903651, Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition can support more than one domain-based DFS namespace. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Alternatively, work around this issue by adding multiple links off a single root.
