Hello,

   I have installed Backup Exec 9.1 on a Windows 2003 Standard x64 R2 server.  The install ran fine but the Remote Agent for Windows Server service crashes when it starts.  The Event Viewer has the entry where the service has terminated unexpectedly and the Application Log has this application error:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Application Error
Event Category: (100)

I also tried starting it with the -debug switch and the log shows this:

I installed SP5 for Backup Exec but the issue persists.  I have installed BE 9.1 on other Win2003 64bit servers and it runs fine.  Can anyone tell me why the service won't start?  Thanks.

if you have the firewall enabled then disable it or add in the exception and try to start the services. If that doesn't resolve then try to disable the antivirus on the machine and try it again

Check the compatibility guide  Windows 2003 Standard x64 R2 server is not supported http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH27643.

You would need to upgrade to version 10d and higher .
