CPS Snapshots not working on cloned Servers, approved on different machines and systems

[Hanno_Kirchhoff]

Hi, we recognized on severall Installions of CPS (BE11) that Servers, that had been cloned with System recovery or Ghost cant produce snapshots, although CPS is running properly.
It dosn't matter if the cloned Server is a CPS Server or Client. Only the Master Server, the one which system installation has cloned, produces snapshots.
Of course we generated new SIDs and Volumes for CPS were created after cloning. And the CPS was installed latest.
Systems testet are W2k3 sp1, W2k3 R2, W2k3 R2 X64 - always the same problem.
I hope someone can help, myaybe some more detailed information on logging of the snapshot creation would help.

Solution found: VSS Writers are missing after imagecopy.
To proof: open commandline console, write: "vssadmin list writers".
If there are no writer listet, there is a easy solution:
Open the Registry.
1. Backup the follwing regkey: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\EventSystem\{26c409cc-ae86-11d1-b616-00805fc79216}\Subscriptions
2. Erase the regkey
3. Reboot.
4. Verify that things are working by running "vssadmin.exe list writers".
After that Snapshots are working again.
