remote system state

[buddyel]

I am trying to backup the network shares and the system info for an NT server from BE 8.6 located on a 2000 server. I pushed the agent installation to the NT server but the network shares are grayed out. Any suggestions.

Have you got a license for the remote agent? If you want to backup a remote machine, than you need to purchase a remote agent license. Once you added the license to Backup Exec, the shares should be available for a backup.

From your backup machine, can you START / RUN / "\\servername\drive$" successfully? If not then you have run a script or patch or manually told your remote server not to admin share the drives. Check this setting:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

AutoShareServer REG_Dword 0x00000001(1) if this is (0) then you have no c$, d$, etc and you cannot touch from remote backup server

There is also a new patch that fixes remote agent issues. You can check that out as well on the Veritas website.
