VSS errors 8193, 22, and 12292

We have a Windows 2012 standard server, and once we renamed the server, we started getting the following VSS errors - 8193, 22, and 12292. How can I fix this? The errors are listed below. Thanks in advance!
Error 8193 - Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine CoCreateInstance. hr = 0x80040154, Class not registered
Error 22 - Volume Shadow Copy Service error: A critical component required by the Volume Shadow Copy service is not registered. This might happened if an error occurred during Windows setup or during installation of a Shadow Copy provider. The error returned
from CoCreateInstance on class with CLSID {e579ab5f-1cc4-44b4-bed9-de0991ff0623} and Name IVssCoordinatorEx2 is [0x80040154, Class not registered

Hi,
Please run "vssadmin list writers" to see if you can find System Writer?
If no system writer, try to run the command in command prompt:
SC.EXE SDSHOW EVENTSYETEM
• If the output is like below, that means it is missing the Service Logon User (missing the entry (A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;SU) )
D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;IU)S:(AU;FA;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;WD)
• Then you can reset the eventsystem permission:
Sc.exe sdset eventsystem D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;IU)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;SU)S:(AU;FA;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;WD)
• Restart both the COM+ Event System and Cryptographic Services
• Run VSSADMIN LIST WRITERS again and see if system writer is back.
NOTEs:If the problem on your side is indeed related to service permission, you can check the GPO setting on your side to see if there is any change on the COM+ Event System Service.

VSS error 8193 and 22 by backup task (Windows server 2012)

Hello,
On the WinServer 2012 Std , I am facing VSS error when it starts "system state backup".
The user account of this task is a member of "local Backup operators".
how can I correct this error ?
In the forum, I found a topic that had mentioned regsvr32.
But Microsoft said it does not recommended/ supported for 2008 or later.

Reregistering files was a common way to fix VSS issues back in Windows 2003. However, due to the changes in Windows 2008 and 2008R2 servicing, reregistering files will either not work or actually damage Windows.
Please discontinue using
regsvr32.

Thank you for your support.

Dear Sophia,
Thank you for your instruction, the below is result of vssadmin.
I am using CA Arcserve 16.5 for backing up system state.

VSS Error Event id 8193 - 0x80070539

I keep getting VSS Error with event id 8193 for several weeks now:
ConvertStringSidToSid
0x80070539
Operation: OnIdentify event Gathering Writer Data Context:
Execution Context: Shadow Copy Optimization Writer Writer Class Id:

Writer Name: Shadow Copy Optimization Writer Writer Instance ID:
{bd32726a-3d40-4c27-9282-2af7d5cff0a5}
Any ideas?

Noting much just hoping somebody with the right knowledge is going to give me a light ...
All public VSS resolutions relate to Server 2003 and hence do not work here.
Also I have reformulated the issue slightly:
Vista SP1 - VSSadmin List Writers reveals one writer missing:
Shadow Copy Optimization Writer is not listed.
Creating a restore point causes VSS Error with event id 8193
>> ConvertStringSidToSid
>> 0x80070539
>> Operation: OnIdentify event Gathering Writer Data Context:

>> Writer Name: Shadow Copy Optimization Writer Writer Instance ID:
>> {bd32726a-3d40-4c27-9282-2af7d5cff0a5}
However, restore point creation is succesful.
There must be another way but reinstalling the entire OS and everything else on top from scratch ...

Large number VSS errors "The specified network resource or device is no longer available."

I have a 2 node Hyper V Cluster backed up via Veeam Off-Host Proxy. I've already logged, without answer, a thread about the Off-Host Proxy server randomly (I guess) creating new duplicate iSCSI connections.
Today I have a single VM that won't backup. On inspection through the hosting servers Application Log I see a high amount of VSS errors being logged which I believe is possibly related to the iSCSI issue being logged by the SAN.
I'm not sure how to "show" the issue without a giant wall of the events but there is like half a dozen different events being logged when whatever this is is happening. For instance as well last night 60/61 VMs backed up find, but these errors
were logged constantly while the backup ran...
The question as well is is this a Windows/VSS issue, a Veeam issue or a Equallogic issue?
Also how do I find what '\\?\Volume{06fba49e-9519-11e4-80cc-000af75dc050}\'. actually is?
In order of how they come I guess:

This is the issue having with redundant iSCSI connections being created:
Not sure this is a Veeam issue, just that it's occurring with Veeam backup process.
We have a server configured as an Off-Host Proxy with Veeam; it connects to the SAN storage via iSCSI same as the other hosts but accesses the storage as read only.
Randomly we will get alerts from the SAN as below:
iSCSI login to target '172.16.0.50:3260, iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:8-661fc6-e612eedc6-32600005c9254a75-arcvmstore1-2015-01-03-14:13:37.2774.1' from initiator '172.16.0.44:64108, iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:arcbackproxy.domain.local' failed for the following reason:
Requested target not found.
On inspection of the Off-Host Proxy's iSCSI configuration additional iSCSI connections are present as inactive, with an existing connections name amended with the date at the end. For instance (and in the example error above) there will be:
iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:8-661fc6-e612eedc6-32600005c9254a75-arcvmstore1
and
iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:8-661fc6-e612eedc6-32600005c9254a75-arcvmstore1-2015-01-03-14:13:37.2774.1
Not really causing an issue, the backups are running OK, or any issues we have aren't related. But getting annoying getting the alerts from the SAN of the Off-Host Proxy trying to connect to an incorrect iSCSI target.
Any ideas why this is occurring?
Obvious is we delete the extra connection, which stops the alert, but the issue will reoccur within a day or two usually.
Today I found twice the alert as above and sure enough the iSCSI on the Off-Host Proxy is as below:
Maybe these redunandant connections being created is related? Maybe that's the where the "The specified network resource or device is no longer available." is coming from or something?

VSS Error in writer Hyper-V

I have a cluster with CSV 5 and DPM can't perform backup on only a few machines in the cluster, it apesenta VSS the following error:

Well, how did not get any results in searches, then checked the versions of the IC on client machines as clusters migrated from 2008 to 2012 some were outdated, updated them, even just to leave everything compliance.
So I decided to clear the "Backup (volume snapshot)" and now he backs up but does the same linux machines, saving the machine and causing downtime of it, and even if you are a linux machine with this option it can not perform the backup this because
it tries utilizr VSS method (I think).
Please, anyone help-me?
thanks!

Server 2003 R2 VSS error.

I inherited a Windows Server 2003 R2 standard edition x86. After doing a bit of checking on it, I see it has not been backed up for some time. Drive C is handled by an Adaptec controller card and has 2 drives in Raid 1 configuration with total space of 68.2GB
with 33GB free and fragmentation of 1%. Drive D is handled by a 3Ware controller card and has 9 drives in Raid 5 configuration (8 active, 1 spare) with total space of 7.27TB with 4.65TB free and fragmentation of 1%.
When looking at either drive thru Windows explorer, properties, Shadow Copies tab it shows "Failed to retrieve volumes that are eligible for shadow copies. Error 0x8004230f: The shadow copy provider had an unexpected error while trying to process the
specified operation."
If I check thru command prompt and run vssadmin commands I get the following.

Error: The shadow copy provider had an unexpected error while trying to process

Now if I look in the event log under Applications I see 2 errors showing.
Error 1

Checking error 1 event id 12302 is says to make sure COM + is set to Automatic. It is set to automatic and is running. It also says to command prompt vssadmin list writers and verify none are reporting errors. None are reporting an error. It also
says to check volume shadow copy in services. Start up set to manual, which it is and it will run with no problems.
Checking error 2 event id 12293 it says to use vssadmin create shadow for each provider. If I do that I get the same errors.
I have done a lot of research on this and found 3 hot fixes from Microsoft. None of the 3 apply to the error messages that I am getting. But to give it a good try, I have applied all 3 hot fixes and none made it better, and none made it worse (different
error messages). I have also tried the following
cd /d %windir%\\system32
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 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 msxml4.dll
regsvr32 Vssapi.dll
regsvr32 Vssui.dll
net start vss
net start swprv
The only errors I get when doing this is the following.
"msxml4.dll not found" I understand this as my system now has msxml6 and in doing some research msxml6 and msxml4 are not compatible and msxml6 replaced msxml4, so I can live with that, I guess.
"Vssapi.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. The file cannot be registered."
I am at a loss. Does anyone have any suggestions

Hi,
Do you install Symantec on your server? If so, please try to remove the entries of Symantec from system to check the result.
In the meantime, please try the steps listed in the following article to see if it can help:

Please note, you need to backup the registry before making any changes to it.

VSS error on host-level backups

We have recently virtualized a Windows Server 2003 SP2 server into a Hyper-V 2008 R2 cluster, and as we're running DPM 2012 R2 we have to protect it on host-level as there's no agent support for W2003 in DPM 2012 R2. However, I keep getting the error below
when running a consistency check on the server:
DPM encountered a retryable VSS error. (ID 30112 Details: VssError:The writer experienced a transient error. If the backup process is retried, the error may not reoccur (0x800423F3).
There are a lot of VSS writers with "waiting for completion" status after a snapshot - System writer, NTDS, IIS, and FRS. The Hyper-V writer gets a retryable error on the host, but other VM's on the same host works just fine. We have
also tried to move this VM to another Hyper-V host but with the same result. KB940349 is already installed on the server but it doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas or suggestions are much appreciated!

VSS Errors

Hi Guys,
I got a problem with DPM. It should backup a fileserver, but on the server it's giving several VSS errors which I can't seem to resolve. I'm hoping to find so help here.

As far as I know, i've tried every single solution on the internet. Registering VSS, changing MBR ID (Which makes the server unbootable).
If you guys can help me out that would be great!
Thanks.

Windows 2012 Server Backup Problems - VSS Error

Our company uses Windows Server Backup to back up our Windows 2012 Server. We back up the host component and the two virtual machines on the server. Every time I install windows updates
on our server my backup jobs stop working and I get a VSS error. In order to get backup working again, I have to recreate my backup job. In order to do this I have to attach all the backup drives to the computer at the same time.
This has been an issue all the way back to when the server was first installed. At that time the person who installed Windows Server talked to Microsoft. Microsoft said the problem would be fixed in the first service pack which they ended
up never releasing. I have looked online, but haven’t found any information on these issues. Are there any fixes for these two problems?

Hi,
Sorry for the delay.
Can you first do a backup then install windows updates? Please provide more detailed message about the VSS error.

Mandy

2TB Ext. Hard Drive is corrupted?, error code -50 and then error code -35 when i try to empty out my trash

okay so a few days ago i received and email for one of my colleagues to do some final editing to a music video. the folder contained 2 videos a rough chops and the main which was about 2-3GB which i dragged on to my external hard drive . and at the time i was trying to install a trial version of parallel lines and me being a newbie to the software i didn't know i need windows installments for it to run lol but yeah... so i was just getting frustrated with the software i kept installing it uninstalling it and then i was thinking my the problem might be because my MacHD space is low (less then 40GBs on my MacHD), so.. i installed it on my hard drive where all my important files are (I'm a graphic designer and do light video editing) video projects and many photoshop projects form 2007 and logs and just a bunch of important files in my hard drive. so because i was so frustrated with the software i wasn't thinking and i installed it on my external 2TB hard drive. and when i realized parallel wasn't working i gave up, uninstalled the program form the hard drive and for some reason when i did that and i tried opening the video my friend had email to me and for some reason it did load up but a few seconds maybe about 10sec in the video is froze and closed my media app (VLC) and when i tried opening other video files it would freeze every few minutes but those specific files i had drag in last were not playing after at least 5 secs and eventually didn't open at all so i restart my computer login and now i get scared i see that my MacBook Pro isn't reading my external hard drive so i search threw forums... i unplug from the wall plug my external hard drive back in my computer and it loaded up but when i opened my external hard drive all my files had that plank white paper icon on my folders (because i have everything organized but subject when you open then drive folder. so... i go in to my projects and nothing, i open my edited photos and nothing... my hart feels like its about to drop and i keep opening files and there is nothing in them, but in "get info" of my drive it shows that there is filled so i go to "disk utility"... i "verify disk" passes ..."repair disk" doesn't past.... i look it up in forums... so i reboot my computer and go to the safe recovery menu. go threw the same ting "disk utility"... verify, pass... repair, pass... so now i feel relieved. i login files in the ext. hard drive load up i tried again to open the files and same thing happens... so now I'm thinking its the files i drag the files to the trash and try to empty and its gone i reboot the computer and my drive didn't load up so i tried unplugin it and back in... drive comes up i notice theres trash.. i tried emptying it and i get the error code -50. and no files are popping up on my external drive and i try to repair/unmount disk and the verify disk doesn't pass and when i click repair disk it doesn't past and another error code pops up -35.... so i felt my drive alone for a few days and yesterday i go the files deleted from the trash and now I'm not getting any codes but when i try to unmount.verify/repair the disk. keeps letting my tits need to be repaired so i click the repair button another error unable to unmount volume to repair...
what do i do? my files still don't show up. and I'm very sorry for the long paragraph but i have to be detailed for you to understand my situation

Hi All,
I have installed SharePoint 2013 prerequisites successfully on windows server 2012. While installing SharePoint 2013, system struck on for several minutes. I have restart my system manually. Later I then installed prerequisites which showed a successful
lessage. But When I try to install SharePoint 2013. I am getting the following error:
trial editions and lincensed editions of SharePoint, Project Server, and Office Web apps products may not be installed on the same server.
I am unable to find solution for this issue. what is the solution for this?
Thanks in Advance..

To be honest, the quickest thing you could do (and what I would do regardless) is re-build the server (re-install Windows).

I get error 0x80073cf9 now and I need help to FIX Windows Store can't update any Apps & can't install any Apps now?

Hi I hope some one can tell me step by step how to fix windows 8.1, I can't update any of my Apps and can't install any new apps now and I get error code 0x80073cf9? But my problem is different than most of the other FIXES I read about, because nothing
fixes my problem to be able to install new Apps and get app updates and stop getting that error code?
I keep getting same error code 0x80073cf9 after I try any of the FIXES I have read about and tried all the fixes on my Lenovo Z580 laptop, that came with windows 8 and updated to 8.1. And ever since I bought this laptop I could
always install and update all my apps for the last year when I had Win 8 and Win 8.1 now.   This has been going on since April and May and its driving me crazy!    And from the May updates I did get all the updates and
I also installed the KB update that said I need this KB to get all updates in the future.
But all the other people when they get this error code they could not even open and use any of their Apps already installed. And they also get the error code when they try to update or get a new apps.
But I can click on any APP installed already and use all my Apps with no problems.   I have read so many how to fix this error code but nothing works! :-(     I have tried a lot of
the fixes on Microsoft forums that says do this and the fix will get rid of the error code but I keep getting the same error code after I try that fixes.   And I have read a lot of other windows 8 an windows 8.1 web sites when
I search for how to fix this error code?   And tried all of the fixes that were different from the Microsoft forum fixes. But after I try those fixes I still can't install any apps or can't get my app updates?
Please to any person's who can help me by giving me more that 1 fix, because I have tried so many fixes, If you know more that 1 fix tell me how to do your fix step by step so I can understand what you say to do to fix my windows store?
Thanks for any and all help? And if I don't get any help in this section of the forum I will try to put this in a different area, if I don't get any help at this section of the forum I will try to ask this in another part of he forum ok?
I really need HELP with this so I can get my laptop working again to install new apps and get the updates to my apps?

Fixed the problem by going to settings/store and logging out with apple ID. Then logged back in with password and updates, apps, and iTunes store seem to work ok now.

When i take photos or videos on my ipod touch with the camera, then i plug it into the computer to sync, the computer shuts down and this blue screen comes up saying "an error has occured" and a heap of other stuff.

When i take a photo or a video using the camera on my ipod touch, the computer (windows xp) shuts down and a blue screen comes up saying "an error has occured" and a heap of oth stuff in white. It doesn't wipe the memory or anything off the ipod. Whenever i sync my ipod without photos or videos it works fine. It also doesn't mind me taking photos off itunes to put on the ipod. I have had a look around and a couple of people say reinstall itunes, but i don't know if i will lose all my songs and apps. Any suggestions of help?

Removing all Apple related software and reinstalling iTunes should bring all needed drivers back: Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Also check for new driver updates for Windows, especially if you have a webcam installed.
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
