Re: Change Administrator username causes backup to fail

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Is this a backup separate from the SBS backup that is set by the wizard?
When configuring those you have to supply a username and password with admin
rights so if you change either username or password the backup will need
changed also.

Hi,

Hopefully a simple question for someone who knows the answer !

Having changed Administrator username to something else - Backup fails.
Change it back it works. So definitley related to a change in username not
being mirrored on a database I think - I just can't find it - full details
below.


New Install of SBS 2003 R2 Premium (with ISA,SQL 2005 and Trend CSM)

All appears to be working OK.
Then I decided to change the Administrator username as recommended in the
tasks.
All appeared OK - even still seemed to get trend updates - until I tried a
backup

Quickly failed with:
==============================================
Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1.
"MSDEWriter" has reported an error 0x800423f4. This is part of System
State. The backup cannot continue.

Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:800423f4
Aborting Backup.
==============================================

And then in the App event log:
==============================================
SQLVDI: Loc=UserAccount::Init(name). Desc=LookupAccountName.
ErrorCode=(1332)No mapping between account names and security IDs was
done.
. Process=9632. Thread=6172. Client. Instance=. VD=.

Setting username back to Administrator causes backup to work - so
definitley related to this.

Can anyone point me at where I should change the Admin name in SQL to
allow backup to work with a changed username.

I've not dug into this in any detail - but presumably I have multiple SQL
installs (MSDE for basic SBS 2003) and then SQL 2005 "proper". I've not
looked at rationalising / migrating anything to SQL 2005 - firm believer
that if it ain't broke ...

Any ideas ?

Many Thanks
James
