Resolution

To workaround about this problem you can :
- Create a share at first level in the name space, then create secondary level for the DFS namespace for all servers
- Use dfsgui.msc (old console) to add root targets
- Use the command line tool DFSUTIL to create the root target: dfsutil =/AddFtRoot /Server:<server name> /Share:<share name>
