Why are you wanting to run dscheck on all servers? There is no benefit from 
doing this. The error message is clear and tells you why it is failing to run.
 
DScheck is run to check your datastore, you do not run it from every server. 
You only need to run it from one....and as the error says it has to be directly 
connected to the datastore.
 
You have run it on one and it has complete...presumably without detecting any 
problems...as you haven't mentioned any.
 
So from what I can see you don't have a problem.

Yes, i'm sorry, the farm is used MSDE datastore, i'm confused.

when i'm run "dscheck" in server 1 is message "Finished data store validation", 
but is run in the others servers dscheck genered the error

"unable to initialize data store connection. This server must have a direct 
connection to the data store. Application terminated. (Result: 0x80000001)"

Hey Jhon
 
I am a little confused as to what the problem your reporting is.
 
Also you said that you have a 5 server farm with an Access Datastore...but then 
you say that the first server is connecting to the Datastore on SQL and that 
the other servers connect indirectly.
 
Firstly, you can only have 1 datastore, it's either an Access db or Sql, can't 
be both.
 
Secondly...Connection methods, 

if is SQL  then you have to purchase SQL connection licenses for each server 
that has a direct connection. If this expense isn't a problem then I have found 
direct is best. 
If your using Access or a MSDE database then your limited to 10 concurrent 
connections and indirect is necessary for farms larger than 10 servers.
As for DSCheck, it must have a direct connection to the Datastore to 
run...which is logical as it is checking the database integrity. Why do you 
want to run it from each server?  I don't see any benefit in doing this. It 
either passes or it doesn't, the results won't differ on different 
servers....unless your running different versions of dscheck on different 
servers, which is REALLY BAD. 

 
Cheers
 
Cherie

HI

We are running a five server farm with a Access datastore. At the moment all 
the servers connect to the first server for the datastore.  It seems it's 
better to have each server connecting direct to the datastore server, is this 
correct? 


i'n run "dscheck" in any server and recieve error, for what???????

 that the first server in the farm is connecting to our SQL datastore and the 
other six servers are connecting through the first one. If I run dscheck on any 
server in farm except for the first one I receive the error: Unable to 
initialize Data Store connection. This server must have a direct connection to 
the data store. Application terminated. (Result: 0x80000001) dscheck runs fine 
from server 1. 


Thanks
