2008 R2 VSS needs repaired, but how?
I have a problem with VSS on a 2008 R2 server. I am not able to create any snapshots due to this. Below is the error in event viewer:
ERROR
Source: VSS
Event ID: 12292
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Error creating the Shadow Copy Provider COM class with CLSID {79079d5c-ef20-4952-b9fc-cfd443b38641} [0x80040154, Class not registered
].
Operation:

I have read about registering everything but I have also read that you shouldn't do this for Vista+ operating systems, only the older ones. So if I have a problem with VSS how exactly do I fix it?
Also I already looked into http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2009513. The registry key exist and the DLL file exist.
