In hindsight that would have been the correct thing but as I didn't expect VSS errors I felt not having ISA installed was best.
Thanks for the link, I will check it out tonight.

Why didn't you just disable ISA rather than uninstalling it?

There is a recent rollup of a bunch of VSS patches that might help you:

New sbs2003R2 premium, all new hardware for sbs server and w2003r2 file server used for line of business. I had moved the first two spare workstations from old completely sperate w2k domain to new network so owner could test LOB and firewall restrictions. He wanted facebook and a bunc of others blocked.

After all proved 100% and before the remaining 8 workstations were joined to the new domain owner decided he didn't want ISA2004 installed at all had had, he felt, resolved isses by terminating one worker, I removed ISA2004 and client from workstations. All appeared perfect but next day sbs2003 backups fail with VSS errors 20 and 8193. I have folllowed all instructions found on threads regarding registering VSS components. The only issues I see is no entries when I list vss providers and writers.

Error on server backup log:

Backup started on 07/11/2007 at 11:24 PM.

Error: Could not access portions of directory System State\Registry.
You may not have permission to open the file, or the directory may be missing or damaged.
Please contact the owner or administrator.

On event log are VSS 20 followed by VSS 8193

When I look at any drive through My Computer, Tools, Shadow copy, it shows "Shadow copy not enabled on this system."

Is there a way to reinstall VSS?
