I have a 2010/2013 environment.
I'm trying to create a DAG in 2013 but when i try to specify the fileshare witness directory(or leave it blank) i see this error in the 2013 mailbox server.
i currently only have 1 2013 cas server and 1 2013 mbx server.
i tried to point the witness directory to be the 2013 cas server.
Below is the event
