Re: ntbackup system state fails System State\COM+

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Thanks for your reply,

For personal, I would like to suggest that you check if the following two
services are disabled in the Windows server.

Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider
COM+ System Application

none of them is disabled,
"Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider"
is set to manual and not running (seems to be ok)
"COM+ System Application" is set to manual and running,
if I stop the service during the backup, the same error occours.

Please also check if the COM+ Class Registration Database is located in
%systemroot%\registration directory. You can also check the Distributed COM
Programs on this server comparing other server without problem. You can use
Q323287.

Dierctory content of %systemroot%\registration is:
23.05.2006 21:35 <DIR> CRMLog
24.05.2006 16:42 23.248 R00000000000e.clb
24.05.2006 16:42 23.576 R00000000000f.clb
22.11.2006 10:14 1.048.576 {02D4B3F1-FD88-11D1....crmlog



HOW TO: Set Permissions for Distributed COM Programs in Windowshttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/323287/EN-US/
I skipped this, cause I wouldn't understand the changes.


I manged to get rid of the error when I do the following:
1. restore folder

%systemroot%\Repair\Backup\BootableSystemState\ComRegistrationDatabase
f
rom a Shadowcopy
The folder was empty, but I could restore a file called
ComRegDb.bak
which has the server installation date.
2. create a folder
%systemroot%\Repair\Backup\BootableSystemState\Registry
3. create empty file
%systemroot%\Repair\Backup\BootableSystemState\Registry\test.txt

I admit this is an ugly hack, and I might not be able to restore the
server if I have to.
But why does ntbackup want a file in
C:\WINDOWS\Repair\Backup\BootableSystemState\Registry ?
On other servers that folder doesnt even exist.
Why has the ComRegDb.bak file been deleted?
