System State (System Files) backup problem with BackupExec

[Henry_5th]

Hi.

Is anyone having problem backing up System State (System Files) with backupexec 10d that server was built with nlite?

I have a server built with nlite (Windows2003 STD R2 (SP1)) (nlite 1.0 Final) ---- lets call it Server1

I also have a server (backupexec 10d installed) without nlite (Standard CD built) ---- lets call it Server2

I can backup everything and anything I want on Server1 from Server2 except System Files in System State.

Backupexec just returns "System Files" is a corrupt file. This file cannot verify.

Veritas, ooppss I mean Symantec just don't have a bloody clue...But it works fine on other servers with normal CD built.

Please don't get me wrong....I love nlite and just could say enough about it.

Please help me...

Thanks...

I can't tell you how it happens, but I can tell you that if you reinstall Windows Server 2003 service pack 1, it fixes the problem. Apparently, there are a couple of corrupted files in the System32 folder, one of which is plugin.ocx which cause the problem. Running SFC did not fix it, it said it couldn't overwrite the files in question. I worked with a Symantec Advanced Support Rep, and he says he's seen dozens of them, and the only thing in common was the original install was done from an Nlite CD. That's why I'm here, trying to find a solution.

Thanks for that pmollica.

Should it be the 'nLite' telling me this?

I have a 42 servers made with nlite and 15 more to go.

Well.....back to ORGINAL CD...Where da hell did I put this...

thanks again pmollica.

Anyone know how to install service pack 1 for windows 2003 R2 64bit server?

Anyone know where to get the service pack 1 for windows 2003 R2 64bit server?

pmollica!!

It worked fine with 32bit servers, re-installing the service pack 1.

I just need to test few R2 side of things after re-installing the service pack.
