Hey guys, having an issue after installing Windows Updates on my Backup server this evening.
 
Windows Server 2003 SP2
Backup Exec 2010 R2
 
Also, we get a popup when opening Backup Exec asking for credentials to connect to media server. 
Ive tried the Global Administrator password as well as the BackupAdmin password which is a member of the Domain Admins group. Wont take either.
