New-DfsnFolder : Access to a CIM resource was not available to the client.

Question

Hello,

I need your help because I have a problem with my PowerShell script and I didn't find any solution on Internet.

Following the error message:

New-SMBShare : The name has already been shared. 
At line:2 char:9
+         New-SMBShare -CimSession $cimSession -Name "$unit" -Path "S:\UnitData\$u ...
+         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MI RESULT 6,New-DfsnFolder

And the code that I use:

        $cimSession = New-CimSession -ComputerName $newDestServer
        New-SMBShare -CimSession $cimSession -Name "$unit" -Path "S:\UnitData\$unit"
        New-DfsnRoot -CimSession $cimSession -Type DomainV2 -TargetPath "\\$newDestServer\$unit" -Path "\\$RootNameSpace\$unit" -EnableSiteCosting $true
        New-DfsnFolder -Path "\\$RootNameSpace\$unit\$site" -TargetPath "\\$newDestServer\$unit"
        Remove-CimSession $cimSession

Have you an idea where the problem is located?

Thank you.

Regards,

Florent

Hi Florent,

1.  For the first error "The name has already been shared":

I recommend you can use the the cmdlet "Get-SMBShare" to list all share folders firstly before creating a new share, and check if there is share named "$unit" on remote server.

2.  For the second error "The requested object could not be found":

According to your script, you want to creat a new share on remote computer, then add this share folder to the new created namespace on file server, please try the script below:

New-DfsnRoot -Type DomainV2 -TargetPath "\\$newDestServer\$unit" -Path "\\$RootNameSpace\$unit" -EnableSiteCosting $true
New-DfsnFolder -Path "\\$RootNameSpace\$unit\$site" -TargetPath "\\$newDestServer\$unit"

If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Hi Florent,

This is my result with the cmdlet "New-DfsnRoot" and "New-Dfsnfolder", and you can find the folder in DFS Namespace Console:

Thank you AnnaWY for your solution.

I have now another error:

New-DfsnFolder : A general error occurred that is not covered by a more specific error code.
At line:56 char:9
+         New-DfsnFolder -Path "\\$RootNameSpace\$unit\$site" -TargetPath "\\$newD ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (MSFT_DfsNamespaceFolder:Root\Microsoft\...NamespaceFolder) [New-DfsnFolder], CimException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MI RESULT 145,New-DfsnFolder

With this PowerShell line:

New-DfsnFolder -Path "\\$RootNameSpace\$unit\$site" -TargetPath "\\$newDestServer\$unit" -State Offline

Thanks again.

Hello,

I have this error too:

Access to a CIM resource was not available to the client.
    + CategoryInfo          : PermissionDenied: (MSFT_DfsNamespaceFolder:Root\Microsoft\...NamespaceFolder) [New-DfsnFolder], CimException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MI RESULT 2,New-DfsnFolder
    + PSComputerName        : DEVO-FILE02

Somtimes it works, sometimes not... I don't understand...

The account who execute the script is domain admin and I launch the ISE in Admin mode.

Thank you for your help.
