I was attempting to fix random VSS errors on one of our clients DC's when I found several references to a fix that involved re-registering various DLL's. I ran into a problem while re-registering the swprv.dll. It was then that I began reading that regsvr32 was no longer useable in a post Windows Server 2008 R2 world.
Whoops.
I begin searching for a resolution but every response from Microsoft seems to be, "You shouldn't have done that" with no explanation as to how to fix the booboo.
For example in this thread...
social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/2b1f44e0-725a-4fc5-bc1d-69437871fe90/wierd-volume-shadow-copy-service-errors?forum=winserverfiles
The VSS service starts fine and vssadmin list writers returns all stable/0 error writers. I've created the registry entry people keep referencing (the swprv.dll one) and have tried numerous command line attempts to re-register it but so far remain defeated.
Short of comlpetely reinstalling windows is there a possible fix at this point or am I up a creek without a paddle? I can just turn off AOFO because this is just a redundant DC but I don't like having errors on my screen and I keep getting notices that VSS can't run properly without this service.
Thanks in advance, happy holidays!
