Windows 2003 - can't back up system state


Recommended Posts

Guest Geoff Lane
Posted

I posted this several days ago, but got limited response. So I'm asking

again but giving fuller information in the hope that someone can point

me in the right direction. I suspect that unless I can repair/reinstall

the Volume Shadow Copy Service, I'm facing a "nuke and rebuild" :(

 

This is a Windows 2003 standard server domain controller. Recently I

changed anti-virus vendor and something went awry while uninstalling the

old software and installing the new, so that I'm now getting the

following errors when my scheduled task to back up the system state

runs.

 

All help gratefully received,

 

Geoff.

Thanks for your help.

 

Unfortunately, installing volsnap.inf doesn't seem to change things. I

rebooted following the install, but I still get the same errors in the

Application Log and the same reason for backup failure when I try to

manually back up system state.

Below is a copy of a report from a different post on the same subject.

I have not tried this by myself - you would need to run it at your own

risk.

 

Start a Command Prompt, then run these commands:

Net stop vss

Net stop swprv

regsvr32 ole32.dll

regsvr32 vss_ps.dll

Vssvc /Register

regsvr32 /i swprv.dll

regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll

regsvr32 es.dll

regsvr32 stdprov.dll

regsvr32 vssui.dll

regsvr32 msxml.dll

regsvr32 msxml3.dll

regsvr32 msxml4.dll

Reinstalled COM+

1. Backup and then delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\COM3

2. Boot to Recovery console and rename clbcatq.dll to ~clbcatq.dll.

3. Boot to normal mode and in Control Panel, open the Add or Remove Programs

tool,

and then open the Add/Remove Windows Components tool.

Checked DCOMCNFG and red down arrow on Computer

2. Distributed Transaction coordinator is running and started.

3. Followed Q315296 How to clean up a damaged COM+ catalog

4. Errored again with: "sub-component Com+ raised an exception" 0x8007041b

5. Stopped the System event Notification serivce and attempted to reinstall

Com+ again

6. This time it was successful

7. Created a Shadow Copy on C:\ and that was successful

8. Attempted the System State backup of the server to C:\ Successful

Thanks - tried that and I'm now getting a different behaviour on attempting

to back up system state, but it's still unsuccessful. It seems that I can't

reinstall COM+ properly, because when I try via add/remove programs I get

the following error:

 

Sub-component COM+ raised an exception while processing the

OC_COMPLETE_INSTALLATION setup message.

 

d:\nt\com\complus\src\complussetup\comsetup\ccompluscore.cpp (line 563)

 

Error Code = 0x80040206

 

 

 

An unexpected internal error was detected

 

The COM+ event classes could not be registered.

 

I have a horrible feeling about this :(

Re: Windows 2003 - can't back up system state

 

Geoff,

I have been fighting similar issues ID 6008 & ID 20 on the DPM forum with no

relief. Below are the two app errors I keep seeing on a W2k3SP2 Protected

Server (through DPM 2007Enterprise) with SQL200SP4. Shares and System State

perform correctly but the Replicas are inconsistent for 19 SQL jobs. The

Microsoft Shadow Copy Service provider keeps stopping.

I would love to hear if you have an answer short of nuking, because I am

close to that myself. Not sure that will even help!
