Guest file indexing
I have guest file indexing enabled on my Veeam jobs so that people can use the 1-click restore from the enterprise manager. All jobs are working fine with the exception of one. I have a job that has 4 servers and 3 of the 4 servers index fine. The 4th fails with the message:
Failed to index guest file system
Error: Cannot read data from volume
Win32 Error: : The handle is invalid
Code: 6
I have asked support about this but have been told that this is a Windows message so they couldn't give me any help. Has anyone else seen this error or can you at least point me in a direction on what Veeam is doing so I can try to figure this out?
Thanks.

Re: Guest file indexing
Did you run error checking on that disk from within guest?

Re: Guest file indexing
Everyone, there is absolutely no point of posting "same problem" in this topic. This does not add any value to the discussion whatsoever. As with any technical issue, you should instead open a support case and let our technical staff investigate this for you with the full log files.
Also, please always be including you support case IDs when posting about any technical issues, otherwise this thread will be removed as per forum rules. This is needed so that we are able to lookup the resolution when future readers ask.
Thank you for understanding.

Re: Guest file indexing
I did open a ticket on this issue (as well as another issue). The ticket #is 5159196. The response I got from support on this issue was that the tech support person wasn't sure about the indexing error because it was a Windows error. Not much help.
As far as the suggestions that were posted here. I had already re-created the job in version 6 and still get this error. I haven't run check disk or re-installed the tools. Now that you mention the tools install I know that when this server got moved the tools were out of date when we moved this server from VMWare 3.5 to vSphere 4.1. It looks like this server has been updated since then as the tools are showing "OK" and the hardware version is now 7. I'm wondering if this will be resolved if we uninstall the tools then re-install them this weekend when the next round of MS updates are applied.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Guest file indexing
No, judging on the error, updating VMware Tools will not help. It looks like there is something in the actual file system causing this. Thanks for the support case number, I now have something to chase our support with.

Re: Guest file indexing
Same issue. Worked fine with v5, but after upgrade to v6 only two of my 30+ VMs started getting this indexing warning.
Opened a case ID#5159253. Tech wanted me to look through the Windows Event logs but I didn't find anything. He was going to escalate the case.

Re: Guest file indexing
I got a reply from tech support late yesterday. It appears they are aware that there are other people with this issue and they are trying to track down the cause. If I find anything out I will post here.
Thanks everyone.

Did the hotfix fix the issue? After I upgraded from v5 to 6 one of my guests started to report this error.

I have not open any support case yet. Just wanted to check if people in this forum had solved their problem. I will collect logs and open a case.

Re: Guest file indexing
I had the same problem after the upgrade to veeam 6.
I've just installed the hotfix, i hope that i'll never see this warning again.
