mike says things sometimes

So I just logged on to one of our severs to do windows updates, and I found an issue.  Turns out Shadow Copies hadn’t run since the end of January when we first set it up.  Massive Fail.

Thankfully, Google saved me many hours and much vodka.

TIP:

If Shadow Copies should “Could Not Start” for it’s status in scheduled tasks, delete the following file:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-18\d42cc0c3858a58db2db37658219e6400_xxx

Then delete the task for shadow copies in scheduled tasks.  Once done, go back to your drive and re-enable shadow copies and you should be good to go.
