Hello Team,

I want to know why we can't re-register the VSS dll's on windows 2008.

Is there any article available where I will find the perfect reason in details.  Also if I re-register the VSS dll's on windows 2008, then what all those difficulties and issues I will faced after that.

 

Regerds,

Santosh Pawar.

Santoshpawar, 

        Awesome techdocs provided above by Craig and PKH. Not really much more to be said. Note that VSS issues outside of restarting the box to bring the writer back to a state 1 stable state would be best troubleshot by M.S. The pararagh following  PKH's qoute above ends with "For more information please contact Microsoft, or refer to their documentation." This may be the best/safest course of action.
