Update: The sysadmin removed and re-applied SP2, and the problem went away. We have attempted to duplicate the problem on a spare system, but have been unable to do so.
While troubleshooting some client problems, we installed hotfixes 934016 and 940349 on Windows 2003 SP2 x86, as described in the client requirements page: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=663&context=SSGSG7&uid=swg2 1197133&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en The hot fixes that were actually installed are "KB934016" and "KB940349-v3". At about that same time, it appears an old VSS bug re-appeared. We're seeing problems that match http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=663&context=SSGSG7&q1=12612 77&uid=swg21261277&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en in that we're seeing the "- File List: Path = c:\windows\msagent\intl\, Filespec = *" string occurs 44 times in the "vshadow -wm2" output. I'm going to work with the Windows Admin to see which fileset updated the "sfcfiles.dll" file. But if anyone has any insight into this problem, please email me and/or the list. Thanks, [RC] PS: The client and server version are both currently 5.4.2.0.
