Remote Selections Problem - Looking for a solution
Hi,
For several weeks now, I've been trying to fix a problem with Remote Selections in Backup Exec 10.d . So far, I've been unable to find any working solutions in the Knowledge base, and on the forums I find posts about more or less the same problem, but never any conclusive solutions. All help will be greatly appreciated.
Here's the situation:
1 fileserver w2k3 and one dedicated backup server w2k with Backup Exec 10d
they are in the same domain (neither of them is a DC) and on the same switch.
The problem:
in remote selections, the domain is visible. When I expand it, the other server is visible (amongst others) but it's completely grayed out (as are the others), not even expandable. Even a right-click on the server icon doesn't work like it's supposed to: it doesn't even display 'properties'.
The weirdness:
When I take a look in 'user definded selections, the server is available for selection, but the default admin shares are greyed out, only shared folders are available.
When I go on another w2k server in the domain (also with Backup exec) the same w2k3 server that was completely greyed out before, is perfectly available for selection.
As I can't use the other (working) w2k server, I tried to make a backup using 'user defined selections' and got following error message: "e0009418 - Access to a device was not authorized with this edition of Backup Exec." According to the KB, this is because I tried to backup an SQL DB, but don't have the license for it. Indeed, I don't have the license, but there is no SQL DB selected for backup.
I tried all sugestions from the KB and the forum, but I'm still stuck... any ideas?
