Unable to Run Disk Management from IDR CD.

Steven_2008 · ‎05-26-2008

I have created a bootable IDR CD for a Windows 2000 Server SP4 using Backup Exec v12. I'm testing the ability to restore to a different server.

If I try and do a Manual Recovery from the CD, when I click on Run Disk Management, I get the following error:

MMC cannot create a node manager. Make sure the file Mmcndmgr.dll is registered.

If I press Shift-F10 and try 'regsvr32 mmcndmgr.dll', another error appears:

DllRegisterServer in mmcndmgr.dll failed. Return code was: 0x80040154.

I have also tried creating the ISO from an original 2000 CD and from a SP4 slipstreamed i386, but both present the same problem.

Since I'm restoring to different hardware, I need to be able to customise the partitions. How can I fix this?

Thanks.

It looks like the components required to show the disk management console are not registered. When you are in the IDR recovery wizard welcome screen, get to a command prompt and make sure you have the B:\I386\BEDRWIZ.INI file present. This file contains a section named [Components to Register] which lists the components required to use the disk management console.

If the B:\I386\bedrwiz.ini file is present, then do the following

   1. Press Shift+F10 to get a command prompt.
   2. Close the IDR recover wizard window.
   3. Now at the command prompt type regedit.exe to bring up the registry editor.
   4. Delete the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\IDR\System Components Registered"
   5. Rerun the IDR recovery wizard using the "Start->Symantec Intelligent Disaster Recovery" menu on the task bar.
   6. You should see a progress window that says "Registering System Components. Please wait...".
   7. Once the registration is complete the IDR recovery wizard will come up. Now you should be able to run the disk management console.

If you do not have the bedrwiz.ini file, then do the following.

8. Press Shift+F10 to get a command prompt.
9. Run notepad and add the following entries to the newly created empty file.

     [Version]
     signature="$Windows NT$"
     ClassGUID={00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}

     netplwiz.dll /i
     shdocvw.dll /i
     shell32.dll /i
     urlmon.dll /i
     vss_ps.dll

10. Save this file as z:\i386\bedrwiz.ini 11. Now rerun the steps 2 through steps 7 as mentioned above.
