VSS / DCOM Error on Image Creation /w BESR 8 german v.

[Bundesministeri]

Hello everybody,

I cannot find anything useful on these. As soon as I install BESR8 on a machine, I get errors (any machine affected) :

DCOM - Error 10016 : User NT-Authority not allowed to activate COM - Serverapp /w CLSID

{ 790F2886-9889-4C99-8EF5-531ADD05D044}

This can be changed via Component Service Administration.

Simultaneously, VSS Error (12292) occurs , announcing an error /w creation of COM Class { 790F2886-9889-4C99-8EF5-531ADD05D044} .

There is no Component /w this ID . Does anyone know how to fix it ? 8.0.2 does not ..

Many thanks in advance

We were able to solve the issue thanks to Symantec Support Hotline. Particular thing there is nothing to be found in documentation. Yet, the issue seems to be known to the vendor.

The solution works as follows:

Set DCOM Security :  Administrative Tools - Component Security - Component Services - Computers - My Computer - Properties - COM Security - Access Permissions - Edit Default - System - Allow Remote Access

This Setting is hidden in Registry Key :

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole] "DefaultAccessPermission"=hex:01,00,04,80,44,00,00,00,54,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\14,00,00,00,02,00,30,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,14,00,07,00,00,00,01,01,00,00,00,\00,00,05,0a,00,00,00,00,00,14,00,07,00,00,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,12,00,\00,00,01,02,00,00,00,00,00,05,20,00,00,00,20,02,00,00,01,02,00,00,00,00,00,\05,20,00,00,00,20,02,00,00

Furthermore, on CLI goto C:\program files\Symantec\BESR\Shared\Drivers.

Execute:

Code:

start /w VssProviderInstall.exe -unregister Symantec Symsnap VSS Provider start /w VssProviderInstall.exe -register Symantec Symsnap VSS Providerstart /w VssProviderInstall.exe -register Symantec Symsnap VSS Provider VSS_2003.dll

 

Afterwards, restart the BESR service.

This way, things can easily be done via batch file execution. Didn't test remote execution /w psexec, though ..

After executing the step you indicate, when I type a VSSADMIN LIST PROVIDERS, I do not see anymore the Symantec VSS entry.

Do you have some advice ?

Thanks,

Michael

Just ot be sure these are the following steps once again: 

For windows 2003

1. Open DOS window on machine
2. Navigate to the Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec System Recovery\Shared\Drivers folder
3. Type vssproviderinstall.exe -register VSS_2003.dll "Symantec SymSnap VSS Provider" "Symantec SymSnap VSS Provider"
4. Press Enter
5. Go to Services to make sure that service now appears and is set to automatic and started.

***If the OS is XP, use the VSS_XP.dll file to register the service. There is also a 64 bit version of this dll file available on 64 bit installations of BESR

Secondly, check DCOM | Computers | My computer | Com + Applications if Symantec SymSnap VSS Provider is listed, if not likley you are not going to see the BESr provider in VSSADMIN LIST PROVIDERS.
