DFS conflict with a shared folder

I just brought up DFS on my Win2K3 server (Server5) and created a root
"network.company.com\shared", the folder being "d:\shared" on Server5. I
already had a share on another server called \\Server1\shared. After I
implemented the DFS share, users lost permissions to \\server1\shared when
they restarted. As soon as I deleted the root, the problem disappeared.
What causes the conflict, and what can I do to avoid similar conflicts?

Thanks

Hocine,
Would server1 be the DC that responds to \\network.company.com?
You will need to call the domain root something else, or rename the share on
Server1

Check your port assignments, there may be some conflict: FSR, DFS and DFSR
use RPC port 135 by default, then move to randomly assigned high range
ports. The server 2003 R2 version does not link through Active Directory
(that's one of the improvements available under server 2008/Vista).
