Error backuping Certificate Server Database on win2k client

[PAC Brion Arnaud]

Hi list,

W have a problem here, while trying to backup a win2k system (v 5.00.2195 SP 3) using 
a TSM client version 5.1.5.15 : the backup consistently finishes with status failed, 
and following message can be found in dsmerror.log :

07/16/2003 00:50:49 ANS1183E An unknown error occurred while processing system object 
'Certificate Server Database':
MS API function 'CertSrvBackupRead' failed with error 6 (0x0006)
07/16/2003 00:50:53 ANS4034E Error processing '': unknown system error
07/16/2003 00:50:53 ANS1512E Scheduled event 'BACKUP_NT' failed.  Return code = 12.

In dsmsched log, everything looks fine, until the end of the backup where those 
entries arise :

07/16/2003 00:50:53 --- SCHEDULEREC STATUS BEGIN

Anyone having seen such a strange behavior, or knowing what could be happening ?
TIA.

Re: Error backuping Certificate Server Database on win2k client

W have a problem here, while trying to backup a win2k system (v
5.00.2195 SP 3) using a TSM client version 5.1.5.15 : the backup
consistently finishes with status failed, and following message can be
found in dsmerror.log :

07/16/2003 00:50:49 ANS1183E An unknown error occurred while processing
system object 'Certificate Server Database':
   MS API function 'CertSrvBackupRead' failed with error 6 (0x0006)
...

I wonder if that system's Certificate Server Database is intact and
viable?  It's suspicious that CertSrvBackupOpenFile obviously worked but
the subsequent CertSrvBackupRead failed, which would indicate a problem
with contents.  That would be worth checking out.  First, though, I would
proceed to apply SP 4 to that W2000 system, to fully bring it up to
current level, and try the backup again.
