Exchange 2013 Window Backup failure - fails to clean up log files - error FFFFFFFC

Hello,
We currently have an Exchange 2013 - Exchange 2007 coexistence setup.
1x Windows Server 2008 R2 with Exchange 2007 CAS/HUB
1x Windows Server 2008 R2 with Exchange 2007 MBX
1x Windows Server 2008 R2 with Exchange 2013 CU 3 (all roles)
Since our current backup solution (Symantec Backup Exec 2010 R3) does not support backing up Exchange 2013 CU3 databases, we are using the builtin Windows Backup feature to backup the Exchange 2013 CU3 databases.
This has functioned for a while, until all of a sudden, the log files are not cleared anymore, causing our log disk to fill up.
Our Exchange 2013 server looks like this:
C: Windows + Exchange installation
D: Databases
E: Database Log Files
F: Archive Databases
G: Archive Database Log Files
S: Dedicated backup volume
The backup is scheduled to run every day at 21:00 hours, performing a full VSS backup of D:,E:,F: and G: to the volume S:
Windows backup log says the backup completed with exceptions, leaving the Exchange logs untouched and filling the drive.
The Windows Backup Command Line tools are NOT installed since they are not compatible with Exchange 2013.
In the eventvwr we can see the following error:
The Microsoft Exchange Replication service VSS Writer (Instance a33ec440-7f12-4c50-806b-1bc5ceaf8aad) failed with error FFFFFFFC when processing the backup completion event.
The command VSSADMIN LIST WRITERS displays the following:
Writer name: 'Microsoft Exchange Writer'
   Writer Id: {76fe1ac4-15f7-4bcd-987e-8e1acb462fb7}
   Writer Instance Id: {cf84a907-76dc-428c-90e0-c18a3f9db493}
   State: [1] Stable
   Last error: Retryable error
Restarting the Microsoft Exchange Replication (MSExchangeRepl) clears the writer error, same with a reboot, however the error comes backup after the next backup.
Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks.

    I'm having the same error message. I also noticed that the server is running a bit slower and that beasvc.exe is using more memory that usual.Has anyone logged a technical support case??

  • Hello. I keep my IPhoto library (about 90GB) on an external HD and am trying to back it up to another external drive. Both are formatted Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled). Recently, backup has failed from the start due to error 36. Howtoresolve?

    Hello. I keep my iPhoto library (about 90GB) on an external HD and am trying to back it up to another external drive. Both are formatted Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) and both check out when scanned with Disk Utility. Recently, backup has failed from the start due to error 36. Any ideas how to  resolve? Also, what's the maximum recommended size for an iPhoto library file? Thx!

    Since you can't drag the library to the other EHD for the backup see if you can duplicate it (if you have enough room on the drive) by selecting it and typing Command+d (duplicate). 
    If you do rebuild the library without a backup and it goes awry you won't lose your photos but you may lose your orgnaizational efforts. So try the following:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library in the location of your choosing  based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    NOTE:  Fix 2 above might be the method you might want to try first with iPLM creating the new library on your second EHD. If it works that would get your backup copy on the second EHD at the same time as repairing it. If it does'nt work then go back to Fix 1.

    Hi all,
    I am trying to recover my lab Exchange 2013 server after removing a component of IIS messed all IIS functions, including all virtual directories.
    The server is running on Hyper-V so I have removed and rebuilt the OS disk whilst the Exchange data resides on a separate disk. I've reset the computer account in AD and then run the command:

  • Exchange 2013 SP1 readiness check failing

    Trying to install our first Exchange 2013 SP1 server on Windows 2012 R2 in our datacentre, the readiness check fails with:
    Error:
    The Active Directory schema isn't up-to-date, and this user account isn't a member of the 'Schema Admins' and/or 'Enterprise Admins' groups.
    For more information, visit: http://technet.microsoft.com/library(EXCHG.150)/ms.exch.setupreadiness.SchemaUpdateRequired.aspx
    There are many more errors relating to Enterprise admin rights etc.
    Please note that:
    My account is Domain admin, Schema admin and Enterprise admin member, it always has been.
    I tried the built-in AD Administrator which of course is part of the groups as well, no difference.
    Active Directory is at 2008 R2 for domain and forest functional levels.
    I tried rejoining the new Exchange designated server to the domain
    I've installed RSAT-ADDS, the Managed API 4.0 and all the other windows roles via powershell
    There is a local domain controller that is a global catalog server on the new Exchange server subnet
    I tried running the Exchange Setup on a different server on the same subnet as where the active 2010 Exchange server resides as well as the FSMO AD role holder resides, this works fine. I even did the AD prep from there no problem, that made no difference
    on the datacentre server
    AD replicates fine between the FSMO role holder and the Datacentre (no errors in dcdiag or repadmin /showrepl)
    This error is in the event log:

    the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table

    So I decided to re-install the OS, worked perfectly now. Only difference from before would be:
    SCCM hasn't pushed SCEP 2012 to the new build of the same server yet
    The original server was installed in a different AD site and then it was physically mode and reassigned to an new AD site and subnet
    I might have installed the pre-reqs in a slightly different order (RSAT-ADDS, all the IIS etc things via powershell
    and then the UCM API 4.0. (saw few comments that the order of how you install them matters in other forums).
    10 or so Microsoft Windows updates haven't installed on the new OS build yet.
    Other than that, its identical. But if its not broken don't fix it, perhaps the above can help someone else though.

    Hi,
    Do you have any running AV software? If there is, please set the AV Exclusion on database file or disable AV temporarily.
    From the description, you have restarted server several times. It didn't work. To narrow down the issue, could you please restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service again on the server where you did backup at your convenience?
    After that, please run the VSSadmin list writers command to determine whether the writer state returns to a stable state.
    Besides, please check the database that you want to backup to see if it is in healthy state. You can use the get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus cmdlet to check this.
    If you have checked steps above, please increase the diagnostic logging level for the Exchange Writer and check if there is any clues.
    Best regards,
    Belinda

  • Exchange 2013: Content Index State Failed

    I am running two, two node DAG's with Exchange 2013.
    One DAG pair is running 5 databases with Server 2012 Standard and the second DAG pair is running Server 2008 R2 SP1 Standard with a single shared database.
    No matter what I try, ALL 6 databases show "ContentIndexState: Failed" with "ContentIndexErrorMessage: An internal error occurred for the database or its index.".
    I have tried rebuilding the indexes manually, automatically and manually copying the database files between servers.  I also receive errors when trying to failover the databases because the content index state is failed.

    Here we go;
    "On
    August 14th, we announced the removal of the
    MS13-061 Security Update for Exchange Server 2013 due to an issue where the patch changed settings for the search infrastructure, placing the content index for all databases into a failed state.  As of today, we have released updated security updates
    for both Exchange 2013 RTM CU1 and Exchange 2013 RTM CU2."
    Details below;

    After installing this patch (Exchange2013-KB2874216-v2-x64-en.msp) seeding of the databases was impossible.
    Error:
    warning
    Seeding of content index catalog for database 'Database02' failed. Please verify that the Microsoft Search (Exchange) and
    the Host Controller service for Exchange services are running and try the operation again. Error: Could not connect to net.tcp://localhost:3863/Management/SeedingAgent-F293698C-B2D0-40CA-A2C3-FB37982E708712/Single. The connection attempt lasted for a time
    span of 00:00:02.0592000. TCP error code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:3863. .
    Looking at the two services mentioned in this warning I've noticed the Microsoft Exchange Search Host Controller (HostControllerService)
    was disabled
    After Changing it to Automatic and enabling it, the problem was salved

  • Exchange 2013 migration ends as Failed but the migration is OK

    Hi
    After Exchange 2013 SP1 I started getting this error when migration users to 2013 or within 2013.
    We are now at CU5 and the problem remains.
    When a migrations has come to the Synced or Successful state the ECP shows status Failed!
    If you view details you see the right status. In the report you see no errors, all looks good.
    So you you just synced a mailbox you have to complete the migration from PowerShell.
    I see no event in the log about this.
    I tried recreating the arbitration mailbox but no luck.
    Is more a cosmetic problem but a bit annoying!
    Anyone seen this?
    Regards
    Robert

    Hi Robert,
    Does the issue happen to all migrated mailboxes or just some specific mailbox?
    Please click Refresh 
    Please use the Exchange Management Shell to display migration user statistics:
    Get-MigrationUser -Identity [email protected] | FL
    Get-MigrationUserStatistics -Identity TestUser@ contoso.com -IncludeReport | FL
    Here is an article about Migration status report in EAC:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj898491(v=exchg.150).aspx
    If possible, please also collect the EAC screenshot about your issue and the commands results here without sensitive information for further analysis.

  • Exchange 2013 Edge Transport install fails

    I'm trying to install the Edge Transport for Exchange 2013 but it gets to step 7 of 9:
    then give's the following error
    Error:
    The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
     new-ExchangeServer
    " was run: "Value cannot be null.

    I've rebuilt the server but since it has something to do with the GUID I assumed it wouldn't work but I was grasping at straws and it didn't fix the issue.
    I can run the setup again and it does finish but it doesn't show up in the list of servers in the ecp management. I've yet to find a solution on this issue if anyone has a suggestion or two it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for response.

  • Exchange 2013 Windows Server 2012 NLB and DAG on the same server

    Hi all, I am installing Exchange 2013 infrastructure with two servers. 
    Both servers have the CAS and Mailbox roles. 
    For mounting on High Availability, will create a DAG. 
    Client Access I have no external Network Load Balancer. 
    I thought about installing the NLB servers in the DAG members, this could not be done before. 
    I do not know if in Windows Server 2012 and Exchange 2013 
    Can I install NLB on members of a DAG? 
    regards
    Microsoft Certified IT Professional Server Administrator

    Hi,
    I’m afraid that WNLB and DAG cannot coexist in the same server. Because WNLB is incompatible with Windows failover clustering. If we're using an Exchange 2010 DAG and we want to use WNLB, we need to have the Client Access server role and the Mailbox server
    role running on separate servers.
    For more information, you can refer to the following article:

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response.
    The error explains that the virtual directory 'PowerShell' already exists, so we need to remove the 'PowerShell' under "Default Web Site" and "Exchange Back End" firstly, and then continue to upgrade the Exchange 2013 CU6.

  • Windows Backup still failing with 0x81000032 error

    I have been trying for days to fix this problem. Tried all suggested fixes, I have 40GB free on both the disks I want to backup (of sizes 200GB and 362GB), I am trying to backup to a 2TB usb disk with 766GB free. All disks are NTFS, I have changed drive
    letters and names of backup disk and computers data partition.
    Ran "chkdsk /f" which required a reboot, ran "sfc /scannow".
    I have zipped and uploaded recent Errors.evtx to a zipped file (fail.zip) although I have omitted 4 events, which were user profile service warnings which said " 1 user registry handles leaked from \Registry\User" ...ect I omitted these as I was
    worried there may have been sensitive info in them. backup has worked fine until a couple weeks ago when this happened.

    Hi,
    The error information is:
    Windows Backup skipped backing up system image because one of the critical volumes cannot be included
    for backup. Check that volume is online and is formatted NTFS. (0x81000032)
    Typically, critical volumes include the boot volume and the system volume. Let’s check the following
    path to find the target volume:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsBackup\Status
    And collect Windows Backup log in following path:
    %windir%\Logs\WindowsBackup
