Windows VISTA - VSS Problem
Hi,
As this is long winded I will summarise :-)
OS = Vista Ultimate
SP = SP1
Updates = ALL
Automatic Restore Points are not working. It works fine if I create a manual one but I have lots of VSS errors in my 'Application Event Log'.
To help solve the problem I have done the following;-

Now whats Interesting is when I type the following command;-
vssadmin create shadow /for=c:
I get Error Invalid Argument - please see below
C:\Windows\system32>vssadm in create shadow /for=c:
vssadmin 1.1 - Volume Shadow Copy Service administrative command-line tool
(C) Copyright 2001-2005 Microsoft Corp.
Error: Invalid command.
---- Commands Supported ----
List Providers - List registered volume shadow copy providers
List Shadows - List existing volume shadow copies
List ShadowStorage - List volume shadow copy storage associations
List Volumes - List volumes eligible for shadow copies
List Writers - List subscribed volume shadow copy writers
Resize ShadowStorage - Resize a volume shadow copy storage association
there is no Create presnet - when there should be.
So I have drive C and E enabled only for Automatic Restore Points. Its not working on either, but it does if I create manually.
I also enclose a copy of errors from 'Application Log'
Log Name: Application
Source: VSS
Date: 11/02/2009 10:29:45
Event ID: 8194
Task Category: None
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic

Description:
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error querying for the IVssWriterCallback interface. hr = 0x80070005. This is often caused by incorrect security settings in either the writer or requestor process.

If anyone could please help that would be very much appreciated. Thank you !
