Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine RegOpenKeyExW (on all 2012 R2 servers with AD DS and DHCP)

-
I'm seeing numerous events logged on our Windows Server 2012 R2 servers, relating to the Volume Shadow Copy Service. They only seem to occur on 2012 R2 servers with both Active Directory and DHCP roles installed. Seems to be a registry permissions problem, but the only solutions I can find via Google are for 2008 R2 servers and the solution doesn't work on 2012 R2 servers.

Hi,
From the error message, it cannot access the key in error with an Access Denied error.
So please simply find this key:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\Diag
Compare with another working computer to correct all permission settings.

Questo post non fornisce garanzie e non conferisce dirittiThis solution has worked perfectly on one of our 2012 R2 AS DS / DHCP servers. I've rolled out these changes to our other two.
Thanks @aperelli !
