VSS without domains or with multiple domains

Post by hartsmm »

Hello, I'm new to veeam, and try to test the features as a possible veeam partner :)

in our test-lab there are (for test) multiple VM's (workgroup XP SP3 machines) and I can not seem to get VSS backup's to work for those VM's....

my question is: must the veeam backup server and the to be backed up vm's all belong to a domain (the same domain)???

Connecting with workgroup connections (like account:administrator or servername\administrator for VSS always fails like this:

VSSFreezer: Failed to connect. Errors:
"Cannot connect to the host's administrative share. Host: [192.168.1.11]. Account: [artsmm\administator].
Win32 error:There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
Code: 1311

(or code: 1326)
"


thanks in advance!

Hell Henk, yes both Veeam Backup server and VMs must be a part of the domain (not necessarily the same domain, but in that case trusts must be established).

Thank you!

personally I would like this on a FEL (feature enhance list) ;-)
there are here a lot of schools who use Virtual Desktop's for sudents, that stay untoched for a school-year, and are not in a Active Directory environments...
If it is not to much work, it would make sence looking into this.

Best regards,

Henk, did you try granularly setting accounts using Advanced dialog on VSS step?
Someone just told me this may help in your case.

Gostev,

A nice problem solver would be to have a 'test'button in the advanced dialog returning OK or FAILED

thanks

Henk, let me chase down someone who told me that it works fine with VMs not being part of domain when using "Advanced" settings, but never shows up in this thread now :mrgreen: I will ask him to explain how credentials should be entered in this case - may be there's some special trick involved.

Great, Gostev!

Its looking better with every try. I'm impressed with what I'm seeing so far! keep up the good work!
the VSS issue is narrowed down, and is now fully working on backup ;-) ;-) but _very_ strangely it does not work for replication... (and I'm using the same credentials, and the same VM)

VSSFreezer: Failed to connect. Errors:
"Cannot connect to the host's administrative share. Host: [192.168.1.2]. Account: [administator].
Win32 error:Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
Code: 1326
"


have a great weekend!

best regards,

Henk

Maybe a typo, but administRator should be better...

Good catch! Unlikely a typo - it's a copied error message :wink:

hi vbussiro,

I think you are right, I probably made this typo sorry! :oops:
Never the less I still like to VSS replication for a Windows 2003 SBS server that also IS the PDC work here.
so I can to backup this machine with local admin rights (administrator and password
this seems to work for backup but not for replication...

any thoughts?

thanks in advance!

What error are you getting now, after having corrected the admin account name typo in the VSS settings? It is exactly the same piece of code, and it cannot be that it works for backup, but not for replication. Most likely, you don't have the settings set identically.
