Backup Exec 12.5 setup B2D Folder over network - The Specified User Does Not Exist
I have been trying to set up a B2D Folder on one of my servers. I keep getting the error The Specified User Does Not Exist i have followed the Symantec advice articles but they do not fix my issue.
I have had this working before but one of my servers died & i had to do a full re-install to get it working again & now it will not work.
Please help

Hi, Focus on the Backup Exec services account. Are you using the LSA ? are you used the format ADdomainName\Username ? if it is not already the case try switching to the domain administrator account for the BEW services to test this theory.

When i open the services logon tab the account set is .\Administrator i changed this to ADDomainName\Administrator
Anymore ideas & a big thankyou
This is frustrating as it seems a common issue but the symantec published fixes do not seem to work for me.

.\ is good enough actually. Is the target server joined to the domain ?
ASKER
Yes it's a member server. I have a remote agent service running on both too does this sound like it is related?
I have also tried adding the network location as a shared network drive in my computer but Backup Exec won't allow me to create a B2D folder using G:\ as a directory path it only allows an \\ type of URL

Yes can resolve both servers in every way using DNS Lookup & can navigate vie windows explorer. I'm trying to setup the B2D on the server machine. So the files will be backed up to a location on the member server. My server is 32bit & my file server is 64bit both server 2003.
Hi, I have a lot of boxes running all different versions of BEW and I just can not emulate this so other than what I have said I am not sure. Its the kind of thing I prefer to actually look at :(

Update
I have just tried to search for my server by clicking add a B2D folder & clicking browse. I navigated to my server which i want to connect to & it said that a connection to this server could not be established.
Its strange i can ping it & dns is all correct i can even navigate the folders by using the unc path in windows explorer.
If you ve had anything like this or you have knowledge of what this problem could be please share with me thanks
