I have a problem with VSS on a 2012 server, in that is appears to be completely broken!
When I right-click on a local drive and select 'Configure Shadow Copies..' nothing happens, no window opens (in Task Manager I can see the ' configure shadow copies' process but it doesn't display the window.
If I run VSSadmin List Writers it displays the writers with no errors.
If I run the following commands I just get a flashing cursor, no output displays and nothing relating to VSS is recorded in the application event log: VSSadmin List Shadows, VSSadmin List Shadowstorage, VSS Delete Shadows /All.
I have run a chkdsk /r but hasn't helped.
It is a Hyper-V server running couple of VMs. This is impacting backups from running (Veeam backups fail) and Windows Backup feature hangs when installing. Windows Updates also hangs at 1% when installing. Not a healthy server!
Any ideas?!
Thanks,
