Vssadmin list writers empty

Hi,
On my Windows Server 2003 when running the command vssadmin list writers it is returning an empty list. So no writers at all.
I found a support article that mentioned to re-register the following:
regsvr32 ole32.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
The thing is I have no msxml.dll and no msxml4.dll in my %windir%\system32 folder. MSXML6 is installed because this is a SQL 2005 server.
I also found an article which suggested to remove the subscriptions through the registry. This didn't help.
When running the command I get error events:
ID 8193
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine CoCreateInstance. hr = 0x80040154.
ID 20
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 {faf53cc4-bd73-4e36-83f1-2b23f46e513e} and Name VSSEvent is [0x80040154].

This one solved!
When re-registering the components we didn't ran the command from the root instead of %windir%\system32. Now everything is okay.

2012R2 server System writer missing in the vssadmin list writers

Hi,
I have some problem with a brand new 2012R2 standard server.
we were able to backup the server from the beginning without problems with the built-in windows backup application.
After installing Solarwinds and SQL server on it, now we have this error in the event logs if we try to backup system state:
The operation ended before completion. Detailed error: The system writer is not found in the backup.
If I check the VSSAdmin list writers, system writer is missing.
We also have this error in the event logs :
Cryptographic Services failed while processing the OnIdentity() call in the System Writer Object.
Details:
AddWin32ServiceFiles: EnumServicesStatusEx API for service enumeration failed
System Error:
The data is invalid.
I did not find anything on the AddWin32ServiceFiles: EnumServicesStatusEx API... and the problem for the system writer seems to start from this error.
Anyone have an idea ?
thanks
Benoit

Hi Benoit,
As the error mentioned Cryptographic Service, please try to restart that service to see if it will help. In fact, system writer is registered in Cryptographic Service.
• Any errors on system/application log?
• Run vssadmin list writers again 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.
If the system writer is back, please test if backup function is back to work.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

Using invoke-command to run 'vssadmin list writers' on several servers, how do I sort the results from each server?

Hi I am a PS virgin so be gentle with me. I am trying to run the vssadmin list writers command on 8 servers.
invoke-command -computername srv-bx-hvc1, srv-bx-hvc2, srv-bx-hvc3, srv-bx-hvc4,
srv-bx-hvc5,
srv-bx-hvc6,
srv-bx-hvc7, srv-bx-hvc8
-command {vssadmin list writers}
The command works but I cannot tell which response is from what server.
The objective whould be to eventually have the command so I know which server has failed vss writers if possible restart them automatically.
Any thoughts on how to achieve this lofty ideal??
Thanks

This is a tweak to the example that JRV listed. I am using this code to just pull the information about the Exchange Writers but you could adapt it for others.
$servers='sdcexmail001','sdcexmail002','sdcexmail003','sdcexmail004','sdcexmail005'
$servers | %{
$sb={
$writers=vssadmin list writers
New-Object PSObject -Property @{Server=$_;Writers=$writers}
$ServerName = $_
$out = invoke-command -computername $_ -scriptblock $sb -Argumentlist $_
$WritersData = $Out.Writers
for ($I = 0;$I -le $WritersData.Count -1;$I++)
$Data = $WritersData[$I]
If($Data.StartsWith('Writer name:'))
$WriterName = ($Data.Split(':')[1]).Trim()
$WriterID = ($WritersData[$I+1].Split(':')[1]).Trim()
$WriterInstID = ($WritersData[$I+2].Split(':')[1]).Trim()
$State = ($WritersData[$I+3].Split(':')[1]).Trim()
$LastError = ($WritersData[$I+4].Split(':')[1]).Trim()
$info = [Ordered]@{

Hi,This morning I wanted to call, so I took my phone ( Iphone 4 S) ,but my All contacts list was empty! I checked in my computer ( windows 8) I have them in Iclould. How can I bring back my data?

Hello Noushin,
It sounds like you are unable to see your contacts in the phone, but have confirmed they are still at http://www.icloud.com. I would next try these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3998
If you're using iOS 7, quit and restart the Contacts app on your iOS device:
Press the Home button twice to see preview screens of the apps you have open.
Find the Contacts preview screen and swipe it up and out of preview to quit the application.
Tap the Home button to return to your Home screen.
Wait a minute before reopening the Contacts app.
Turn iCloud Contacts off and back on:
Tap Settings > iCloud.
Turn Contacts off. Choose to delete data only if your data exists at icloud.com/contacts and on one or more of your devices. Otherwise, choose Keep Data.
Wait a few minutes before turning Contacts back on.
Restart your iOS device by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and then swiping the screen when prompted to power off. Then turn your device back on. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Person or Group colum in the SharePoint list retrieves empty value for Mobile phone property

Person or Group colum in the SharePoint list retrieves empty Mobile phone for some users although thoses users have Mobile Phone values in the User Proifles. This happens only for some users. For some users it shows Mobile phone for
some days and after some days it dess not show Mobile Phone though Mobile Phone entries are in the User Profiles for those users.
Appreciate any help to fix this.
Thanks in Advance!

Hi Narayana,
According to your description, my understanding is that the person or group column retrieved an empty value for Mobile phone in SharePoint 2010.
Please go to the hidden User Information List using
http://<SiteCollectionUrl>/_catalogs/users/detail.aspx , check the value of Mobile phone.
Please go to CA->Monitoring->Review job definitions, scroll to User Profile to SharePoint Full Synchronization
and
User Profile to SharePoint Quick Synchronization, make sure they work well.
In addition, please take a look at :

I hope this helps.

Export - File Character Set list is empty

Running version 1.6.1.00.02 on Oracle 10g. We are having problems moving a particular application into our production environment. Getting a parsing error. Doing some research - noticed that others have experienced similar issues - some threads have suggested making sure that the character set choices between export and import are the same. I've noticed that whenever we import, we must pick the character set. However, when exporting, the File Character Set list is empty - actually there's no type of drop down control present. Is this an issue?

Hi,
It seems you're using virutal host in place of Load module. Anyhow I have a couple of notices;
- which JDK you've on your AIX server
- Did you add LoadModule to your Httpd.conf
- You a couple of parameters which are not known to me for example
WLLocalIP z.z.z.,
I put virtual host parameters as following;
Location /WEBAPP>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicCluster Hostname:7003,HostName:7004
</Location>
After these changes try to restart Admin Server & ManagedServers.
Hear from you,
Respectfully,
Hamdy

After Effects Alert when opening (Error: Mount Point list is empty)

I am so confused right now. I have searched everywhere for a solution to no avail. I have a brand new Mac Pro 2.7 Ghz 12-core intel Xeon e5 with 32 gigs of ram. I installed Reelsmart's Motion blur and when I tried to re-open After Effects I got an After Efects Alert that reads.
Last log message was: <140735179719440> <EAMountPoints> <0> Error: mount point list is empty
Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes.
Can anyone help please! I'm on a tight deadline and I'm grounded.
Thank you, thank you!!

FrameMaker 11 S1000D Data Module List is empty

Hi
I'm currently looking at FrameMaker 11's S1000D plugin. I've read the documentation that is available but I'm confused.
I've set up a project, which is a copy of the default Bike project in the same location (in my Roaming Frame directory) but when I load the S1000D Common Source Data the Data Module List is empty.
I can click onto the edit button and this will load the DML document and I can edit this with new Data Module Codes and save this document. But when I follow the instructions to refresh this list I'm getting a blank window.
I want to be able to see how well this plug in works for IPD Data Modules, but without the ability to insert a dmRef from the Common Source Data window I cannot proceed any further.
Any assistance that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Dan,
this is happen on all workstations.
wait a minutes.
i try to configures form setting,
and i can see the item list on service menu (but i have got an error at the first time, and shutdown the sap program, then i start again it works only in service menu). But another modules i try press tab, and my sap not responding and shuting down sap by it self. I try to start but always shutdown when i press TAB key after not responding.
maybe i must login by administrator (Windows) later, but my sysadmin not in office. i will write the message later here.
Thankyou

System list remains empty

Hi,
I've tried executing the "QuickStart" example given in the Visual Composer user guide. After creating model, module, page, Iview.. I'm trying to import BAPI.
Here, when I give link to the Portal I'm using, connection with the Portal is working but the System list remains empty.
( in my Portal Landscape Directory I've defined the system an user mapping for that and Its working fine)
Can anyone suggest me, where I'm going wrong.
Regards,
Mausam

Hi Mausam,
These are the following possibilities where you may have done something wrong.
1. System Definition: Make sure you have defined the system you want
to connect. Do the following to verify the same.
In case of "UserMapping"
Checklist:
1. System Alias is defined
2. UserManagement property of the system definition is set to "UIDPW"
3. System permissions are set to give access to end users.
      eu_role/authenticated_user/or any group that you want to give access to
      the system.
      One of the above groups is added to the system definition and make sure
      eu_role has "end user" box checked.
4. Once the steps 1 to 3 are correct then go to personalize link
(For this link
      to show up the user that you logged on should have eu_role assigned),
      select usermapping and see in the dropdownlist the system you
have defined
      appears (Alias name)
      Select the system, enter the userid and password and save.
5. Now go to the support desk and check by selecting "SAP Transaction"
      if it connects automatically using the id and pwd you have
provided by doing
      usermapping.
6. If step 5 works without you entering the userid/password then
you are ready to
      test with Visual Composer. If not make sure step 4 is complete.
7. Now start the Visual Composer and connect to portal and select the system
      and specify the BAPI. It should give you the list.
If SSO:
Follow the above procedure except the following steps.
2. Make sure the UserManagement property is set to "SSO2LOGON"
4. Skip step 4
Hope this helps.
Regards
