While pre-existing workstations and jobs will run on my Backupexec 12.5 Rev 2213 (windows server 2003) - I cannot add new workstations/installs.
Specifically: whether I am installing a windows 7 32 or 64 bit machine, when i try to push down the RAWS from the backup server it fails. So I manually install the appropriate 32 or 64 version of RAWS on the worksttation. Regardless, when I run the backup agent on the workstation, I receive this pop-up error:
"This program has known compatability issues - check online to see if solutions are available from the Microsoft website. if solutions are found, Windows will automatically display a website that lists steps you can take.
Program: Backup Exec: Symantec
Publisher: Symantec
Location: C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\RAWS\vxmon.exe
Backup Exec: Symantec is incompatable with this version of Windows. For more information , contact Symantec."
If I choose "check for solutions online" it bombs out. If I choose "run program," and try to run a job, the job bombs with the dreaded metafile error (E000FEC9.)
If I try to push down updates from the server - whether 32 or 64 bit - it tries to pushing down 8 changes. It says it has updated successfully, but I still get the metafile error when I try to run a job, and when I reboot the server and workstation and try to update the RAWS on the workstation again, it still tries to push down those same 8 updates.
How do I get out of this loop?
I have tried removing every variable I can think of (no antivirus running, installing windows WITH service pack one, installing WITHOUT service pack 1, 32 and 64 bit operating systems) - but the path to destruction remains the same every time.
