SBS 2011: VSS 8230 errors relating to Sharepoint search

Question
-
Hi all,
Anyone else seen errors in their event log relating to VSS and the Sharepoint search user? I was getting these errors before installing the Sharepoint 2010 updates, although I did get hit by the incorrect perms on the Sharepoint logs folder as well.
Here is the error I am getting quite frequently in the log:

I'm receiving an error on applying the registry security setting, it tells me the I do not have the rights to do so
(using domain admin rights)

Did you run regedit with elevated rights according to UAC ?

edit:
same thing, i have checked with UAC.
Same for me: SBS 2011, with server 2008 R2 SP1 and all updates till today 2011/03/03 .
I am logged as network administrator (part of enterprise admins, domain admins, administrators...) account with elevated privileges.
And i can not modify permissions to {61738644-F196-11D0-9953-00C04FD919C
how to accomplish this?

Also i have always:

Hello,
I also have several of the listed error messages in my newly installed SBS2011.
The hint under most of them that they are "benign" is a bit strange I think.
If everything really is fine, then why do all these pop up?
Does anyone know, if MS planes to publish some fixes to reach a more or less "clean" eventlog?
Regards
Stefan

I am having the problem too, and it seems that every fix causes another problem, very frustrated. Is there a definitive answer because I need the multiple backups so I can have one offsite. (The VSS issue causes problems with Server Backup)Monday, August 29, 2011 4:27 PM

Same situation here. Don't have permission to edit the specified registry keyWednesday, September 28, 2011 2:43 AM

Read the underlying KB
- Click Start, click Run, type Regedit on the Open box, and then click OK.
- Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{61738644-F196-11D0-9953-00C04FD919C1}
- Right click on the key {61738644-F196-11D0-9953-00C04FD919C1} and choose permissions
- Click Advanced button
- Change to the Owner Tab
- Change the Owner to the Administrators Group be sure to check the box labeled “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects”
- Once the Owner is changed, go back to the security tab and Grant the Administrators group Full Control
- Close Regedit

Thank you, that worked, of course. I saw the owner was set to the user Administrator, which we know goes away after the first login.
You know, I've been experiencing these types of bogus permission issues with SharePoint updates since early releases of SBS 2008. You'd think by now, we could run a SharePoint update without breaking things.

Nope, mine was already set to Administrators, and the warnings are popping like crazy, any other suggestionsTuesday, October 4, 2011 1:42 AM

So yours is set to the Administrators Group, Full Control and the Administrators Group is the owner of the key? Please double check that, and remove Administrator from the securities listings.- Edited by Codewize Tuesday, October 4, 2011 4:11 AM

no change, and if i try to add an additional backup drive to the backup schedule, I will get an error on configuration. And it's all leading back to these sharepoint accounts that have been inserted by Microsoft and don't have the appropriate permissions assigned to them. Very Frustrating and the client is frustrated.Thursday, October 6, 2011 10:42 PM

The additional backup drive is not related to this and is a native to Server 2008 r2 backup.

Once the Owner is changed, go back to the security tab and Grant the Administrators group Full Control
Go back to those steps and redo that setting. Take it out, put it back in.
Then did you do the second part?
Use the following steps to grant the SPFARM account the local activation right.
- Click Start, click Run, type dcomcnfg in the Open box, and then click OK.
- Expand Component Services, expand Computers, expand My Computer, and then click DCOM Config.
- Right-click IIS WAMREG admin Service, and then click Properties.
- Click the Security tab.
- Under Launch and Activation Permissions, click Edit.
- Click on the SharePoint Farm Account and check the box for Local Activation.
- Click OK and close out of the Component Services Utility.

Did anyone happen to notice that the command NetLocalGroupGetMemebers(spsearch) has been misspelled. it should read NetLocalGroupGetMembers(spsearch).
Might that be the reason the call fails rather than the password or the security settings????

No, (as I understand it) as there's no code triggering that, it's the account in the registry. You can see that mispelling in other events.

I applied the registry and DCOM config changes referenced here, but I still can't run a Windows backup job successfully. Before the job fails, it's preceded with several VSS 8230 app errors:
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Failed resolving account spsearch with status 1376. Check connection to domain controller and VssAccessControl registry key.
Error-specific details:
Error: NetLocalGroupGetMemebers(spsearch), 0x80070560, The specified local group does not exist.
Here's the specific backup job event log failure:
The backup operation that started at '2011-10-30T18:18:18.170815800Z' has failed with following error code '2155348010' (One of the backup files could not be created.). Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.
I've run psconfig ... twice ... once before applying these changes and once after.
It's a new server install I did this weekend for a client. Everything works great except the built-in Windows image backup job. It's my first SBS11 install, so I thought I'd post something. I've probably done 50-60 SBS installs over the years, so I'm sure I'm not the only one who will run into this problem.
If you have any suggestions, feel free to post them here. In the mean time, I'll read through the full SBS11 post install KB article while I'm on hold with MS opening a support case.
Thanks,

It looks like the ext HDDs are my problem. Even though Windows 08 R2 successfully recognizes and can write manual system state backups to them, I can't run a full backup of both server volumes. The client had a pair of 3TB ext HDDs onsite, so I'll replace them with 2TB devices that meet the hardware requirements in the following KB article. I suspected the ext HDD size may have been a factor, since I went through something like this (imaging servers) about six months ago with Acronis -- which also doesn't support ext HDDs larger than 2TB.
In my case the ext HDDs reported the following: Bytes Per Sector = 4096, Bytes per Physical Sector = 4096
Anyway, if you're having problems running SBS11 Windows backups on ext HDDs make sure the following doesn't apply.

I tried the above fixes with Registry. Want not able to change permission. What I Did was update the share point and that fixed the problem with my backup that was not working. Shadow drive issue.Tuesday, May 22, 2012 7:13 AM

We get the same errors, on our Windows server 2008 R2 Datacenter when backing up...
We dont have Sharepoint, and it is not a Domain controler.

Check the sector size on your backup hard drive. Server 2008 backup does not work with the newer advanced format drives with the 4096 sized sectors. If you have a drive that let's you format to 512 sectors, then it can be made to work. Otherwise, you will have to find a different external hard drive!Saturday, October 13, 2012 6:28 AM -

Which update did you install for SharePoint? We have that issue on a SBS 2011. The Backup is reporting not enough disk space but we have around 650GB to backup to a empty 1TB USB drive...Wednesday, June 24, 2015 9:05 PM -
