The event viewer shows "An unusal error was encountered while enumerating the contents of

Hi,

You could perform the following:

1) Reboot the target server to get rid of left out .VSP files

2) Configure Antivirus to exlude .VSP from scanning

3) check out the document: http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/268416.htm
