W2008 R2 adding a source drive fails "The Filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect"

I've a scheduled backup running to multiple removable disks. Some are offsite. Windows server 2008 R2.
I have added a new volume to the server that needs to be backed up to the same set of removable disks.
However from the GUI when I try to modify the backup to include the new source volume, I get the "The Filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect".
Have I got to take all my offiste disks onsite, delete the entire backup job (and loose all my backup history) and recreate for the new source set, adding one target volume at a time? OUCH!

Hi,
I have the same issue. I have a Server 2012 running with three hard drives. Two of them show up correctly and are added to the Full Backup. The third and most important is not showing up in the list of drives, and it is not being backed up. I tried using
recover.
I have used the wbadmin in comman console for destination disks, but I can not find a way to add a source disk. I have never encountered a backup program that will not automatically add a hard drive when it is set to Full backup, or manually let me add one.
Any solution to this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Finn

Server 2003 to 2008 DCPromo fails - "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect"

I've done the adprep32 on 2003 server standard for /forestprep, /domainprep, and /rodcprep without an error, as instructed by several docs on web. But in final stage of dcpromo on 2008 server standard, it fails with
Active Directory Domain Service could not replicate the directory partion CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=local from the remote Active Directory Domain Controller Old-DC.
"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
I've found several docs online, but non-helped. After about 20 hours of numbing fingers, I found docs to manually move DNS and DHCP from 2003 server to 2008 server. But the Active Directory on 2008 server won't start because I can't get that
DCPromo to finish.
Is there a way to manually move the login ID's and passwords to 2008 server and activate the Active Directory Service?
Thanks.

I've already looked at it, and used it to google. Tried every suggestion I could find. Below is snippet of the file:

Hi All,
Was try to run the ADF Sample tutorial available on the Oracle site.
Am using Virtual box for the windows environment for running Jdeveloper 11g.

I can test the Model by running AppModule... its perfect... getting record and can update them as well.....

Couldnot fnd useful info by googling...
Please let me know if anyone come across such an error?

Yes, same directory structure is created automatically when i tried to run the jsf page from jdeveloper, which was created newly from new project application.
previously once i tried of manually renaming "system11.1.2.4.39.64.36.1" to "system11", but when i ran my page, new dorectory "system11.1.2.4.39.64.36.1" created again and same error encountered.... then i removed two of the above... and just build the new project in jdeveloper and ran it... asked me for weblogic user and password, thats it ...page was running fine, when i got n check the directory same old name "system11.1.2.4.39.64.36.1" was created...

Illustrator can't work properly: "the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect"

When I run Illustrator there is a "New Features" pop up window, I click on "see all the new features", it popup a blank notepad and another system new message: "the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect". Also when I try to use Typekit fonts it happens the same thing...
Already cleared with CC Clearer, installed Extension Manager to see if its conflicting, but my Illustrator can't work properly.

Pm.xml (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)

I am trying to get the PM service started but i get this error message.
any sugestions?
thank you

As we found out, you must first create a collection before the pm.xml file is created. From FM, performance tab to create collection and then create a bogus collection and then FM will restart the PM service.

"There was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is i

"There was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
I tried different versions, no avail.
I think it has to do with the password somehow, but I do not know. I can copy the files from the web folder to my desktop and they open fine (after entering the password AGAIN), but I can not open them directly form the web folder - it does not ask for the password again, just pops up the error.
Adobe's support really upset me (insert explicative here) by keeping me on the phone for 20 min, collecting all sorts of information about me (not the problem) with some lady who barely spoke English, just to tell me to go to the website. No surprise they need to charge for tech support, customer service is doing everything but "service". I hate companies that do this. I am thinking of using another PDF reader, I have heard good things about them. Check
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software
Has anyone ever been able to find a fix? I can not find anything on this site.

Howdy, Moritz!
Thanks for the suggestion, but this is not an issue of filename and language conflicts, at least in my environment. I highly doubt that's the root cause of this issue.
The PDF files in my tests have all had very simple names, such as 123.pdf and test.pdf, as well as more complicated names with spaces in them. Nothing about the files contains anything outside of the English language, including the content and filenames.
From everything I've been able to determine, this is a WebDAV-related security issue that affects programs like Acrobat Reader. I know for a fact that MS's KB892211 WebDAV patch doesn't create the issue, however MS's update to that 892211 patch DOES create the issue. As I've outlined earlier in this thread, my extensive testing has proven this more than once.
At this point, I haven't been able to accurately uninstall the update to 892211 after the update has been installed. And, as far as I can tell, the update to 892211 comes down from MS as a Office and/or Windows Update component. So, everyone has it, the uninstaller doesn't work, and there's no documentation detailing what registry entries are being changed when the update to 892211 is installed.
My ultimate goal is to bring a test machine to the point just before the update to 892211 goes on, fire up the Registry, Process, and File monitors on my test box, and install the 892211 update. This should give me an accurate picture of what I need to restore in order to rid the machine of the update to 892211.
Until Microsoft officially fixes the issue, I am not totally sure how this will be resolved. I've ceased my work on the issue for now since copying the PDF file from the WebDAV share to the user's desktop gets the user what they wanted in the first place - the ability to open the PDF file!
Maybe, once some other projects slow down a bit, I might get back to creating a solution, but it's going to be a "hack" no matter which way you slice it. I'd much rather MS spend their time creating the solution. If I have to do it, my fee to MS will be quite HIGH! :*)

There was an error opening the document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is inc

I have two machines, both with the latest version of Adobe reader installed. I have received an email which contains 2 .pdf file attachments - the file names are in Russian Font (Cryllic)
PC 1 opens these docs fine - I double click the file name and the document opens as usual.
PC 2 comes up with the following error message "There was an error opening the document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect" - Though if I save the files to my machine and then rename them using English fonts - they open up without any problems.
Both machines are XP SP2 - any ideas why one machine will open the files fine, but the other one has problems?
Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Benny

Error saying "There was an error opening this document, the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is correct"

At my work we uses Macs to prepare PDF’s and the create folders to archive and print them. Other areas of work use PC’s to review these PDF. When they go to review these folders there is a small black dot which appears under random characters in the folder name and when they try and open the file an error message saying “There was an error opening this document, the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is correct”. On the PC they can delete the name and rename the folder and the error disappears. If anyone can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated. If I was to have a guess I think its most likely an error with character recognition between the MAC and PC. Any help would be great , thank you

See if this helps on the charachters...

"attempting to copy to [external drive] failed. the disk could not be read"

this is a problem on my 2x3GHz quad-core intel xeon macPro running os 10.5.7, and itunes 8.2. i have a 1TB external hard drive (firewire 800) that holds all my music for itunes. i have never had any problem with this setup before, until recently.
once, a while back i got an error on my itunes (that popped up without me doing anything.. seemingly random) saying something about not being able to save the itunes library. that went away after a restart, and hasn't returned.
BUT a new problem now happens any time i try to add more music to my itunes library. i have always added music to itunes by setting up my preferences "add file to library" and have the itunes library pointing to my external hard drive. then by dragging the files on-top of a playlist, it sorts and adds the files to my external hard drive. i have been using this process for years without any glitches.
now when i try to drag files into itunes, i get: "attempting to copy to [external drive] failed. the disk could not be read from or written to"
i double checked the read/write privileges on my external drive and nothing has changed since i got it. (it's still read/write access for my user.. and i've even tried putting a "read/write" for "all" as well. no dice)

thanks, that actually doesn't help the issue i'm having.
but now the problem has expanded to finder and everything else. so i'm pretty sure the external hard drive is starting to go out. i'm currently attempting to back up all 700GB of info from the drive.

Having Apple replace the built in drive is around $120.
Buying a aftermarket external DVD drive is around $30.

Connect to multiple drives in the same directory?

Please pardon me for not using correct terminology. I cannot mount (map) two drives in the same directory. I use "Go >Connect to Server >smb://fs.domain.edu/~directory/folder1" and the folder1 icon pops up on my desktop. Then if I use the same structure with /~directory/folder2, the Finder window opens to the same folder1 I originally mounted. I have to disconnect from the first before I can successfully mount the second. Since I sometimes need to work on documents in both simultaneously, it is VERY inconvenient. Is there a solution, and is it on my machine or do I need to bug our techies (again)??

No. In the Go >Connect to Server dialog they show as:
smb://fs.domain.edu/~directory/folder1
smb://fs.domain.edu/~directory/folder2
I have access also to another directory:
smb://fs.domain.edu/~directory2/folder1
smb://fs.domain.edu/~directory2/folder2
And can simultaneously mount a drive in that directory with a drive in the other directory, but cannot simultaneously mount two drives in the same directory.
