This is a well documented MS oops. Add a CR to the end of the value in the registry.

I'm new to TSM Please help a noob with getting TSM 5.5.0.6 running on Windows Server 2003. The setup went well. The node was added to the TSM server. The job was scheduled. However, when the job executes, no data is backed up and I get the following in the DSM.LOG file. 03/23/2009 09:15:02 ANS5250E An unexpected error was encountered. TSM function name : VssRequestor::QueryStatus TSM function : pAsync->QueryStatus() for caller 'VssQuerySystemWriters()' returned E_UNEXPECTED TSM return code : -1 TSM file : vssreq.cpp (8380) 03/23/2009 09:15:02 ANS1009W An error occurred processing the operating system include/exclude statements. The error was detected while processing: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup\DRM. RC = 13. Now here is the strange part. This error has occured when the VSS server is set to auto and when it is set to manual. When I got back and take a look at the service after the TSM job errors out, it is set to disabled. Can someone shed some light here?
