Windows Server 2008 R2 System State Backup fails "the parameter is incorrect"

Hi,
I'm having the same problem as I've found in a few other threads.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/windowsbackup/thread/C633B2E6-1161-4146-BC09-C2712231F0EE
and
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/thread/0b0f2d9c-e3b1-4f85-a6d2-2e15e5a15bc1
I've tried running the vshadow.exe -wm2 > out.txt command and searching the output for invalid paths, but I can't seem to find any paths that looks incorrect.
I've also done a registry search under HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services for the / character and didn't come up with any in any paths either.
The server is a pretty new install. DC, DNS, DHCP, File and Print services. It has been running in production for about a week for a small business. Their previous server desperately needed changing over, so it got pushed in fairly quick. I never assumed
I would have had trouble with the system state backing up!. It would be nice to get it working so I can sleep at night :). The old DC is still running, so all is not lost in a failure, but still... I guess also once I've demoted the old DC, I can restore AD
just by restoring the entire system image (Don't have to worry about USN sync if only single DC), but I would still like a system state backup.
Thanks, Ryan

Hi,
Try to apply the following hotfix.
System state backup error in Windows Server 2008, in Windows Vista, in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2: "Enumeration of the files failed"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980794
You may have to restart the computer after you apply this hotfix.

The System Writer is not showing up when I view vssadmin list writers.
I have already tried every tip in the following links:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734021(WS.10).aspx
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/thread/bb760434-de80-4cb6-ae9e-bd253e4b037c/
I have also run sfc /scannow and rebooted. No luck.
I think the reason none of the tips at the above links work for me is that the System Error is NOT access denied like many others are getting, but is instead
The parameter is incorrect. I think that's the key.
Any ideas why I am getting this error and why my System Writer is nowhere to be found?

Windows 2012 System State Backup Fails

We have a Windows 2012 Domain Controller VM that we would like to backup the System State using DPM. Agent has been installed and the Windows Backup has been added.
When the backup runs in DPM, the job fails. Here is the error code:
DPM cannot create a backup because Windows Server Backup (WSB) on the protected computer encountered an error (WSB Event ID: 517, WSB Error Code: 0x12363C0). (ID 30229 Details: Internal error code: 0x80990ED0)
When we try and create the backup using Windows Backup, the following error is in the log file:
following error code '0x807800C5' (There was a failure in preparing the backup image of one of the volumes in the backup set.). Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.
We have tried attaching a separate drive and backup to a shared location. Both fail.
We have tried backup of just a few files on the DC instead of the System State, this fails as well.
All VSS Writers show as Stable with no errors
Server has the latest updates
Server has been rebooted, same issue
VM is Windows 2012 on a Windows 2008 R2 clustered host and is using Dynamic Disks (not fixed disks).
Anyone have any thoughts on what could be going on?

Hi,
If any of the following are true, you will not be able to backup a system state to that volume.
• Make sure that the target volume has no shadow copy before the backup starts.
• If a system state backup is stored on a source volume, backup settings should be configured for full backups. By default, settings are configured for full backups.
• Periodically check that no other user or program maintains a shadow copy on the target volume.
• Do not keep volume level backups and system state backups in the same location.
• The volume used to store the system state backup needs twice the amount of free space as the size of the system state backup until the backup completes
Meanwhile please check if it is caused that you are backing up to a critical drive. Try modify the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wbengine\SystemStateBackup\
Set the value of this entry as follows:
Name: AllowSSBToAnyVolume
Data type: DWORD
Value data: 1

MSDN article KB955078 - System state backups failing in MSCS environment

Hello,
We have a an MSCS cluster running on Windows 2008 with SQL server 2008.
When we run a system state backup on the Passive node we get the error mentioned in Microsoft article KB955078 because of the SAP executables installed onto one of the shared disks.
Has anyone else encountered this and if so what did you do to resolve it?
Symantec have suggested we install the SAP executables on a local disk but if we do that then the cluster won't really work smoothly because the ASCS instance willl have to shut down. I'm not even convinced SAP would support this kind of install.
Any suggestions welcomed.
Regards
Garry Bayford

Hi Garry!
Possibly, as SAPinst installs the binaries on the shared drive in the cluster, those binaries will be listed as protected binaries.
The fact is that, neither in Windows Server 2003 nor in 2008 you can access a shared drive that is attached in one node from any other node in the same cluster, in a similar way that you cannot access a local drive of a computer from another computer. So the message is obvious: "the files (and the path) do not exist", as the drive indicated "do not exist" in the passive node.
In any case, if you want to access the SAP folders from the passive node you can do it without any troubles through the virtual network address associated to the SAP cluster group by means of the SAPMNT resource, i.e.
sapmnt.
This is what you should do if you want to backup any files. However I do not think that it is necessary to constantly back up the SAP binaries, as these do not change at all, until the moment that you update the kernel (and so, you can take a backup of the binaries just at that moment).
I hope that this sheds some light into your concern. Cheers!

The XenCentre host is a HP ProLiant DL 580 G7.
The VM's C:/ is hosted on a SAN which is controlled by DataCore SANSymphony-V PSP2.
I need to perform some work to resolve an underlying issue with the 2008 VM which requires me to perform a 'System Recovery'. When I do this however I am presented with the attached screen shot which lists no drives to repair.

Windows Server 2008 backups failing

I have a Windows Server 2008, fully patched that backups recently started to fail and now, we are unable to open the Windows Server Backup. Also unable to open Disk Management or any other applications requiring Virtual Disk.
Attempts to start VDS from service or command line result in the following errors:
1:
A timeout was reached (180000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Virtual Disk service to connect.
2:
The Virtual Disk service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I added the debuglog to registry and the $vds$.log only records the following:
(PID:8988,TID:10060,17:32:43) ERROR: CVdsLoader::LoadService, 3, hr=8007041D
I have also increased the timeout dramatically to no avail.
SFC /scannow returns:
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.
Nothing requiring Virtual Disk Service will operate making backups and imaging impossible.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
As SFC could find some issues (but fail to fix), please try to DISM could help as well:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
Fix Windows corruption errors by using the DISM or System Update Readiness tool
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821
Also though the following hotfix is not specific for this error, it helps updating VDS components. Please try it and see if issue persists after installing it.

Has anybody had an issue with System State Backups on a Dell PowerEdge R510 Server running Server 2008 R2?

Hi,
We have recently had issues running system state backups on our 2008 R2 Domain Controllers.  They are running on Dell PowerEdge R510 Physical Hardware. Whenever you initiate a system state backup, the Domain Controller becomes unresponsive
forcing us to physically reboot it.   Nothing in the Event logs or the Dell Open Management Hardware Software indicates issues with Phyiscal disks but we can always replicate the issue by starting the system state backup.
The system state backup is initialted as a batch file that runs as a scheduled task.   the commands run are as follows:
WBADMIN START SYSTEMSTATEBACKUP -backupTarget:[drive letter] -quiet
We have 4 Domain Controllers with identical disk configurations. When the DCs were setup I confirmed the system state backups were working but the issue started occuring sometime in Dec 2014. We are going to run the Dell Hardware Update Utility
to update the RAID, BIOS, Firmware updates but Has anyone experienced a similar issue that may have been triggerd by a Microsoft Patch?
Thanks,
Kevin C.

Hi Kevin,
This issue could be due to the Mountmgr.sys driver incorrectly maintains a global mutex. This behavior causes a deadlock situation in the Mountmgr.sys driver.
Please install the hotfix in the article below to resolve the issue:

How to Delete Non-System State Backups in Windows 2008R2

Hello,
I am running a Windows 2008R2 server which uses Windows Server Backup to do the backups. We are using the backup-tool to create non-system state backups of the data-directories on this machine. The backup is done on a dedicated disk connected through iscsi
(to a Synology box). This backup disk has become too small and we have now replaced the Synology box with a bigger one. Here i created a new LUN again for the backup purposes.
Now for my question; The wbadmin.exe tool supplied with W2008R2 does not offer a way to delete the old backups. I know that in Win2012 (which we we also have running) I could add the new iscsi location and then (when enough backups are available on the new
target) use wbadmin.exe delete backup to delete the old non-system state backups; e.g.
wbadmin delete backup -version:08/07/2013-21:00
This (very undocumented) feature of Windows 2012 and higher works quite nice and is exactly what i am searching for on the W2008R2 machine; a way to delete the old backups (and under the hood delete the corresponding snapshots)
I've done quite a bit of research and it should be possible to do something similar in 2008 but then manually, The howto is described in the following link: http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2009/06/22/backup-version-and-space-management-in-windows-server-backup.aspx .
Basically it describes that you should use DiskShadow.exe to remove e.g. the oldest snapshot with a command like :
Delete shadows OLDEST \\?\Volume{7fc1871b-2e1f-11dd-a339-001e4fb7af35}
Windows Server backup (wbadmin) should then on the next run 'see' this deletion and update its list of available backups:
"You can perform the same steps manually to delete backups on demand. However, the backup catalog update cannot be done manually and it will happen instead during
the next backup."
I've done this on our box and it indeed removes the shadows from the list. However, in the Windows Backup 'dashboard' it still lists the backups as available. Also after a new backup has finished (according the the article this is when it should 'update'
its backup catalog). When I try to restore a backup from a date that i just removed it gives a nice message that this is impossible because the snapshot is not available (duh :)) ;
Unable to browse Local disk. The shadow copy of the backup stored on the backup destination cannot be found.
So it seems that the aforementioned method works; it removes the snapshot and frees diskspace, but it doesn't update the Windows Backup catalog. As a result the management tool (GUI) still lists the backups which are no longer available! How can i change
this? Is there any way to do this? I found one article which mentions that the Dashboard bases its screen on the Windows Logs and not on the actual VSS snapshots available:
http://forum.wegotserved.com/index.php/topic/23757-start-afresh-with-server-backup/ (WHS) In my situation however this seems unlikely because i don't have any logs that date back as far as my backups go.
In my opinion this is a real bug and it leaves us with a in-consequent backup schema. Does anyone have similar situations or even a solution to my problem?
Kind Regard, Martin

Hi Mandy,
Yes! I think i got my answer and I now get how windows backup works in Windows 2008 :-) It turns out that I dismissed some suggestions a bit too soon. The answer lies in the command mentioned earlier :
Wbadmin delete catalog
This command does delete all the backups from a perspective of the Windows Backup UI, but leaves the VSS snapshots intact. This means that the backups are still available, but you just can't restore them with the User Interface. In order to 'update' the
UI with the current available snapshots (which you can list with diskshadows list shadows all), you have to re-add the existing media on which the backups took place using the Wizard of the UI. It will then inform you that existing backups are available and
if you want to keep these for restore purposes. If you click 'yes', and THEN perform a backup ... All the current available backups will be shown in the User Interface :-)
So for my steps taken to change from one iscsi (iscsi1) to another (iscsi2):
- Add the 2nd iscsi target with the Windows Backup UI
using Backup schedule , Modify backup -> [desired options] => Add more backup destinations -> iscsi2
- Remove the 1st iscsi target with the Windows Backup UI
using Backup schedule , Modify backup -> [desired options] => Remove current backup destinations -> iscsi1
- Run some backups on the new destination. Old restore points are now still available. When enough restore points are available on the new volume iscsi2 start deleting old data from iscsi1 as follows:
- Run diskshadow
diskshadow
- list all the current snapshots
list shadows all
- remove all the snapshots of iscsi1 (repeat until all shadows are gone of iscsi1)
delete shadows oldest \\?\volume{yourvolumeid}\
- delete the windows backup catalog
wbadmin delete catalog
- Restart the windows backup UI and re-add your schedule on the new volume iscsi2. It will now ask if you want the keep the existing data for restore purposes; click yes.
- After the next backup only the backups of volume iscsi2 will be listed and everything is fine !
I Hope my post will help others with similar questions. It was quite a search before I understood the way it works. Basically as long as your VSS snapshots are still available and listed by diskshadow you still have the backups and you will be able to get
this in sync with the steps above (delete schedule and re-add originating targets containing the snapshots). After the next backup the UI will update itself.
(In my case someway along the way I lost my originating snapshots, but because I already had my new backup set it didn't bother me; It kept me from having to delete all 510 old backups :) with diskshadow)

Opening Excel Workbook Fails when run from Scheduled Task on Windows Server 2008 Rw

Hi,
I have a little vbs script that instantiates the Excel.Application object and then opens a work book to perform some tasks on it. The script runs fine when run from the command line. When I attempt to run it as a scheduled task (it is supposed to update
data that is pulled from a SQL Server at regular intervals), it fails with the following error:
Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'c:\test\SampleWorkbook.xlsm'. There are several possible reasons: .....
The file does exist. The path reported in the error is correct. The account under which the task is running is the same account I use to run it from the command line. User Account Control is not enabled, and the task is set up to run with highest privileges.
When I run the same script through the Task Scheduler from a Windows Server 2003 machine, it works without issue.
I was just wondering if somebody on this forum has run into a similar issue in connection with Windows Server 2008 R2 and figured out what the magic trick is to make it work. I'm sure it is rights related, but I haven't quite figured out what which rights
are missing.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

This is truly killing me ... trying to get it working on Windows Server 2012 without success.
I desperately need to automate running Excel macros in a "headless" environment, that is non-interactive, non-GUI, etc.
I can get it to work using Excel.Application COM, either via VBScript or Powershell, successfully on many other Windows systems in our environment - Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 (32-bit), etc., -BUT-
The two servers we built out for running our automation process are Windows Server 2012 (SE) - and it just refuses to run on the 2012 servers - it gives the messages below from VBScript and PowerShell, respectively-
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing several different versions of Microsoft Excel (2007 Standard, 2010 Standard, 2010 Professional Plus, 32-bit vs. 64-bit, etc.), but it makes no difference.
Would be extremely grateful if any one out there has had any success in running Excel automation on Server 2012 in a non-interactive environment that they could share.
( I have tried adding the "%windir%\syswow64\config\systemprofile\desktop"
folder, which did fix the issue for me when testing on Windows Server 2008 R2, but sadly did not resolve it on Windows Server 2012 )

Oralce EPM Fails to install Weblogic on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64

I've run the installer on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 and it fails to install Weblogic. I don't have MIDDLEWARE_HOME/oracle_common. Config tool log says missing jars. When I go back to install and choose products individually, Weblogic Server is gray. When I click on Weblogic Server, the message at the bottom says can not be installed.
I have checked that I have extracted the following assemblies:
Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installer, Fusion Edition Release 11.1.2.0.0
Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Foundation Services Release 11.1.2.0.0 - Parts 1 - 4
Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Additional Content Release 11.1.2.0.0
I have run this same set of files on another server and Weblogic was installed. Am I missing something?

I am not sure if it is your problem but I don't think R2 is officially supported, I did have problems with it when I first installed 11.1.2 so I installed with R1 SP2.
Cheers
