Trying to run disk2vhd on a SBS 2011 with 2 partitions, getting the "Error snapshotting volumes". The server is a VMWare VM (yes I know its doggy to have SBS as a VM (this isn't my setup, we are just migrating users and files from this server))
Event log has these:
"Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error querying for the IVssWriterCallback interface. hr = 0x80070005, Access is denied. . This is often caused by incorrect security settings in either the writer or requestor process."
For theSystem Writer, DHCP Jet Writer, SPSearch4 VSS writer, TS Gateway Writer, NPS VSS writer.
I have attempted:
- Only selecting one or the other of the two partitions
- I am running disk2vhd "as administrator" with a domain admin account/local admin.
- Created an AD group "vssregistrygroup" added this group to registry HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\VssAccessControl as a dword "DOMAIN\vssregistrygroup" with value 1
- Added the above group with full permission to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\Diag\
- I've completed the SharePoint configuration (SBS server).
- Restarted the server
- I'm physically located hours away from the server so I cant boot into WinPE or anything like that to run disk2vhd from there.
- Restarted volume shadow copy service.
- vssadmin list writers shows no errors or warnings on any writers.
- Added my admin account in dcomcnfg.exe to component services\computers\my computer - com security - Access permissions with local and remote access.
I've been searching the error messages for hours already, please don't respond with a quick link to something suggesting one of the above things that I've already tried. By all means, if you have a link suggesting something that I haven't actually tried, I am all ears.
Thanks
