SP4 & NTBackup - System State problem

P

Peter Ford

I recently installed Service Pack 4 and am now getting this error when I run
NTBackup:

Error: You do not have permission to access portions of System
State\Registry\software.
Please see the owner or administrator to get permission.
Warning: Unable to open the file \Registry\software - skipped.

Note: I am logged into the Admin account when running NTBackup.

Does anyone know why this might be?

I am also having problem running Backup Exec 8.6 on the same area. From
what I can tell, it seems that something was changed in either the NTFS
security or the Domain Admin account.

"Domain Admin account" ???
You are on a LAN and using a domain account? Try the local
Administrator account to determine if it is account or ACLs. Confirm
that the Domain account is still in the Local Adminstrators Group.

Just ideas. I have not seen this problem.

The machine is a Domain Controller, so local login is out. I have checked
the ACLs and everything looks clean.

You can keep trying here or I suggest another MS W2K group might be
better. Either as a "SP4" issue or a Server issue or NTBackup issue.
Maybe it's "known" issue over there?
