Guest Adam Simmonds (SimAda00) Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 Hello Is it normal for a pc running sql 2005 and exchange 2003. to show 0 writers when running vssadmin list writers. Adam -- _________________________ Adam Simmonds Systems Administrator
Guest Daveg Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Re: VSS No, when executing the command does it just sit there and hang or returns to command prompt with no writers listed? Its possible that some core VSS .dll needs to re-registered. Please follow this KB, note the working directory prior to registering .dll's. Various issues may occur on a Windows Server 2003-based computer that is running the Volume Shadow Copy Service http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940032 daveg
Guest Adam Simmonds (SimAda00) Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Re: VSS Dave Thank for your response. It seems to hang for a small while and puts the following entries in eventvwr Source: VSS ID:20 Volume Shadow Copy Service error: A critical component required by the Volume Shadow Copy service is not registered. This might happened if an error occurred during Windows setup or during installation of a Shadow Copy provider. The error returned from CoCreateInstance on class with CLSID {faf53cc4-bd73-4e36-83f1-2b23f46e513e} and Name VSSEvent is [0x80040154]. Source: VSS ID:8193 Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine CoCreateInstance. hr = 0x80040154. I have already re-registered the dlls numerous times, and have attempted a repair of the com+ catalogues, (have not tried a full rebuild yet). sfc /scannow didnt fix the issue either. Im going to try chkdsking all my drives, to see if their is a hd issue casuing this, but i doubt it. -- _________________________ Adam Simmonds Systems Administrator "Daveg" wrote: > No, when executing the command does it just sit there and hang or > returns to command prompt with no writers listed?

Guest lukesh Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Re: VSS Try installing latest fix for vss issues KB940349 What is the version of sqlvdi.dll? Run "vssadmin list providers" command(without quotes) in command prompt, what do you see? If hotfix does not work, try this: 1. Backup the registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EventSystem\{26c409cc-ae86-11d1-b616-00805fc7 9216}\Subscriptions]; 2. Under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EventSystem\{26c409cc-ae86-11d1-b616-00805fc7 9216}], delete [subscriptions]. 3. Reboot "Adam Simmonds (SimAda00)" wrote: > Dave > > Thank for your response.

Guest Adam Simmonds (SimAda00) Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Re: VSS Woo. I did a com repair and tried again registering dll's and for some reason it was eventcls.dll that wasnt playing ball. But this now works. ALthough due to the com rebuild some of the writers were no longer registered, reinstalling things like exchange and dhcp added those 2 back in respectivly. Next for iis, as i didnt want to reinstall it i found this command useful ""rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 c:\windows\inf\iis.inf" i found it years ago and it reinstalls anything inf based, so that added in iis metabase writer Next was active directory, now im not sure how this one added its self back one moment ntds wasnt their and after a reboot it was. I think active directory must of re-registered it when it started up, either that or the exchange reinstall added it. and all the other writers seemed to come back naturally during eh come rebuild, So thanks for everyones time and effort. This is a nasty problem that is really hard to solve. Thanks again. -- _________________________ Adam Simmonds Systems Administrator "lukesh" wrote: > Try installing latest fix for vss issues KB940349 > What is the version of sqlvdi.dll? > Run "vssadmin list providers" command(without quotes) in command prompt, > what do you see? > > If hotfix does not work, try this: > > 1.
