How to configure "IgnoreArchiveBitTrigger" on Netapp for backing up Enterprise Vault Partitions

We have recently created some new Vaultstore partitions on Netapp storage, after browsing Symantec we have confirmed that we will be using the IgnoreArchiveBitTrigger mechanism so that Enterprise Vault can confirm items have been succesfully backed up.  However we are having problems creating a script that will run the commands before and after backup on the Netapp Management Console(Data Protection Manager) - we have tested the powershell script which runs OK on its own but the console throws an error each time we try and run it. (error: "EntVault: Failed to run custom script "c:\SetEvBackupMode.ps1" : Could not invoke script: Error 193:  is not a valid Win32 application")

Apologies for the late reply, we have now managed to find a work around, the version of the powershell is not the issue since we tried to run the script using both versions of Powershell and had the same result.  Our work around was to use the powershell command in a batch file which we created using VBS.  Now the Netapp protection manager is able to read the VBS batch file and hence run the script for Powershell.

Really strange one, but it is now working

Thanks for your response though...

can youn post the actual script details of SetEvBackupMode.ps1? It sounds like you are not using the correct powershell version but can't confirm until you post the detaisl fo your script.
