Hi,

Has your SQL Express service for BE started up successfully?

What happens if you do the following:

1. Open a command prompt & browse to your installation directory.

2. Run bemig.exe

Do your services start up now?

Thanks!

@AmolZeroCool :

BE media device and media server, BE error reocrding server BE renote agente service are started.

BE agent broweser service, BE joj engine service and BE management service couldn't started with error 1068, The dependency service or group failed to start.

i gues that dependency servise is BE server service.

when i tried to start BE server service, i got the message thaht service was started and than stopped.

event viewer messeges are:

Event ID 57804: The Backup Exec Server Service detected a schema version mismatch.

Event ID 57802 The Backup Exec Server Service did not start.  An internal error (-536813108) occurred in object 1.
