hi All, i have win server 2008 sp1 edition, i created a Components.txt file and tried a snap shot back up. but it failed. i got a message that BEtest.exe stopped working. i even tried to register all the .dll files but i was unable to register the es.dll,mxsml.dll and msxml3.dll. i got the event ids:8193,1000 and 32. when i tried registering the es.dll file i got an error message stating that "the module es.dll was loaded but the entry point dllregister server was not found"

I recommend that you post this to the Windows Server forum. This forum is for Exchange Server. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/threadsEd Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."
