Error-messages

A customer configured a DFS shares as described in our manual.
http://docs.software-univention.de/handbuch-4.3.html#shares::msdfs

He can access the share via windows and both configured destinations can be accessed.
He now wants to manage the dfs-namespaces via windows DFS-management, but he gets error messages, when he tryes to list the namespace or to create one.

Does samba support this feature. I just find the description here:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Distributed_File_System_(DFS)
and I am not sure.

I could reproduce this in my testenvironment, having two shares one on my backup and one on my slave. I configured the share as described in the manual and I get the same error messages as the customer.

See some screenshots attached.

From reading the current samba wiki documentation and grepping through the sourcecode I think that the "netdfs" RPC pipe is not implemented currently. From reading [MS-DFSNM] I think that's the one used for namespace management.
