Backup Fails when starting VSS
Backup fails immediately with this error message:
--------------------------
Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1.
Timeout before function completed
Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:0xffffffff.
Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:ffffffff
Aborting Backup.
--------------------------
i found the question on this article:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/SBS_Small_Business_Server/Q_21992777.html,
and it pointed to 2 hot fixes (kb/913648) and (kb/891957) , but i cant get the files to perform the quick fixes, i tried to contact Microsoft using the site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935195, but haven't received anything from them, are there any other suggestions on getting these files or a most effective way to get a response from microsoft??.
i also take any suggestions on the backup error.
thanks
Juan

i juts noticed something else, the SBSMONITORING service is failing to start, i tried to start manually and it fails, i get the following error in event viewer:
SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server 'NSSVR\SBSMONITORING'; SQLServerAgent cannot start).
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
i am really new to SQL, so please understand if i am not following the correct troubleshooting steps, i try to login to SQL using the SQL server management studio express and i get this error (below), once again, i am not a SQL guru, but it seems like i am having a authentication problem, the only reason why i bring this up is because teh event viewer also has an entry for VSS that refers to a SQL error, please see the 2 errors:

One other thing that i forgot to mention was, that the administrator password was reset when i started to work on this project, i am not sure if this should cause an impact.
Thanks

You shouldn't manually mess with the SBSMonitoring SQL Database. If it's not working right, just reinstall it through the SBS Integrated Setup. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555432
But I'm wondering if this server was properly upgraded to SP2. Can you please post the results from running SYSTEMINFO at a command prompt?

Before doing that though, you need to fix your DNS settings. Please disable the 1394 Net Adapter, then you need to have separate IP subnets on your NICs as shown in the example here: http://sbsurl.com/twonics
Full networking information for SBS is at http://sbsurl.com/msicw and make sure you run the Configure Email and Internet Connection Wizard (CEICW -- which is linked as Connect to the Internet in the Server Management Console > Internet and Email) once you've set the NICs correctly.
A visual how-to is here: http://sbsurl.com/ceicw
