Hi, I am trying to get DPM2010 working to backup guest systems on a hyperV (2008 R2) cluster.
My initial backups all came back inconsistent, and running a consistency check runs for days without finishing. Servers I am backing up with an agent installed directly on
them are backing up fine.There are no VSS errors in my logs, just the following warnings:
Event 8230, VSS
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Failed resolving account
username with status 1376. Check connection to domain controller and VssAccessControl registry key.
Operation:
Gather writers’ status
Executing Asynchronous Operation
Context:
Current State: GatherWriterStatus
Error-specific details:
Error: NetLocalGroupGetMemebers(username), 0x80070560, The specified local group does not exist.
I have checked the VssAccessControl key in the registry and there are 2 entries, one for DOMAINusername, and one for NT AuthorityNetwork Service.
The user account is a domain admin account, which was used for installing DPM.I am curious as to whether DPM is passing the account name without the domain as the error suggests it is looking for
username rather than domainusername which would match the registry key.
I have tried adding just the username on its own to the registry but the error remained the same.This particular server is a domain controller, however I am experiencing the same issue across 11 servers in the protection group.
I have left the consistency check running for several days and it does not finish.

James,
I think Tyler accidently gave you improper details. The proper registry setting is a KEY, not a value.
Add the following KEY on the Hyper-V host(s) you want to use the software vss provider on.
[HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft Data Protection ManagerAgentUseSystemSoftwareProvider]
This should force VSS to use In-Box VSS Software provider.
To verify it’s working, during a backup and see if the snapshot was created by the provider ID {b5946137-7b9f-4925-af80-51abd60b20d5}
on the Hyper-v host, run:
diskshadow
list shadowsAlso, try turning off TCP Chimney on both the PS and the DPM server. It seeems the snapshot is getting created, but file transfer is getting hung. I have seen this solution fix that problem.
On 2008 the command is: Netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled

Solution
To ensure success, a valid account must be specified for the VSSAccessControl registry key.
- Open the registry editor.
- In the Registry Editor navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesVSSVssAccessControl
- Delete the DWORD value that corresponds to the account name in the events.

I’ve been trying to knock down the number of errors appearing in my event log and I thought this was was taken care of.
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Failed resolving account spfarm with status 1376. Check connection to domain controller and VssAccessControl registry key. I already applied the VSSREGISTRYGROUP registry modifications see «workaround» below.
After that and a reboot the error stopped but I just noticed today it returned strangely enough at 1pm. Four errors per hour, but one hour had 5 errors and another hour only had one error. First the error below, then the workaround that I
had applied below that.
Any idea what’s going on here?

Login
On Small Business Server 2011 Standard or Windows Server 2008 R2, you may see warnings in the application event log similar to the following:
Log Name: Application Source: VSS Date: 4/11/2011 9:48:48 AM Event ID: 8230 Task Category: None Level: Warning Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: CONTOSOSERVER.contoso.local Description: Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Failed resolving account spsearch with status 1376. Check connection to domain controller and VssAccessControl registry key.
The warnings may also reference the spfarm account.
Cause
SBS 2011 Standard Edition installs Sharepoint 2010 Foundation in SharePoint farm mode. The accounts SPfarm and SPsearch are used as service accounts for some of the Sharepoint services. In order to be able to utilize the VSS writers, the accounts must be granted access to VSS. The accounts are added by SBS to the VssAccessControl registry key but the VSS service fails to locate the accounts.
Resolution
You can use the following steps to workaround the issue.
- In Active Directory Users and Computers, create a Domain Local Security Group named VSSRegistryGroup.
- Add SPFARM and SPSEARCH accounts to the VSSRegistryGroup group
- Run regedit.
- Go to: HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetservicesvssVssAccessControl
- Add DWORD value of DOMAINvssregistrygroup where domain is the netbios domain name (example: CONTOSOvssregistrygroup set the DWORD value to 1.
Note: the Domain name must be in all caps.
- Remove values for domainspsearch and domainspfarm.
- Go to HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetServicesVssDiag.
- Right click on Diag and go Permissions, click Advanced and add VSSRegistrygroup group with Full Control.
- Remove spsearch and spfarm accounts from the list of permissions.
- Reboot the server
VSSAccessControl
The registry hive VSSAccessControl could list more than the default account for VSS, NETWORK SERVICE, for example Network Service and account_name).
The adding of a domain user account added to this list could raise VSS warnings, as 8230: to solve this issue you have to remove account_name from the VSSAccessControl registry hive and reboot the server.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesVSSVssAccessControl
Enables or prevents a writer from using a specific user account
In order for any writer to use the VSS infrastructure, the writer must run under an account that is a member of the local Administrators or Backup Operators group on the local computer. For example, a writer running under the Local System account meets this requirement. This is true for the vast majority of writers.
You can, however, enable a writer to use a specific user account by adding the appropriate registry entry. You can also prevent a writer from using a specific user account.
To enable a writer to use a specific user account, add a REG_DWORD entry with the name equal with the user name. Set the value of the registry entry to 1 (one).
To prevent a writer from using a specific user account, add a REG_DWORD entry with the name equal with the user name. Set the value of the registry entry to 0 (zero).
