SBS 2003 VSS Unable to create shadow copies Event IDs 11 12292 700

[Robbin M]

I am using a SBS 2003 server which is completely patched. It is working fine but somehow there are bugs with backup. When I try to run the backup or just tries t create shadow copies there is a problem. There is a error. I am getting a event id error. I went inside the event log and found a list of errors related to backup only. I am trying to re-register the dll but sill it looks some dll fails to work. The dll which does not register is swprv.dll. What can I do here.

As per the description that you had mentioned it looks you are not telling everything. There is very few information. The event id 12292 and 7001 are based on VSS. You have to check back again all the details what error you are actually facing. As per my experience you can fix that by some simple tips. You have to right click on every partition and in the properties you can find a shadow copies tab. In that you can simply check the schedule shadow copy task and the issue will br resolved. Just try the same and then check back.

How you are trying to re-register the dll. I am going to give you a small script that would help you more in troubleshooting the problem. I am going to list you some commands for cmd which will help you to re-register the dll. Check the below commands. You will need to type exactly the same.

cd /d %windir%\system32
Net stop vss
Net stop swprv
regsvr32 ole32.dll
regsvr32 oleaut32.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

Once you are done with the above work then type dcomnfg in run box and try to modify the configu settings for Volume Shadow copy service.
