I am having the same problem, and even trying the final step will not work. Even in safe mode and running the command prompt as an administrator, I am denied access to rename RtBackup.

Hi, We can try to import the registry keys in Safe Mode. Please Note: You may backup registry keys first. 1. Open Notepad. 2. Paste the following contents into Notepad. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SstpSvc] "DisplayName"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\sstpsvc.dll,-200" "ImagePath"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,\ 74,00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,73,\ 00,76,00,63,00,68,00,6f,00,73,00,74,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,20,00,2d,00,\ 6b,00,20,00,4c,00,6f,00,63,00,61,00,6c,00,53,00,65,00,72,00,76,00,69,00,63,\ 00,65,00,00,00 "Description"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\sstpsvc.dll,-201" "ObjectName"="NT Authority\\LocalService" "ErrorControl"=dword:00000001 "Start"=dword:00000003 "Type"=dword:00000020 "ServiceSidType"=dword:00000001 "RequiredPrivileges"=hex(7):53,00,65,00,43,00,68,00,61,00,6e,00,67,00,65,00,4e,\ 00,6f,00,74,00,69,00,66,00,79,00,50,00,72,00,69,00,76,00,69,00,6c,00,65,00,\ 67,00,65,00,00,00,00,00 "FailureActions"=hex:80,51,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,14,00,00,\ 00,01,00,00,00,c0,d4,01,00,01,00,00,00,e0,93,04,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SstpSvc\Parameters] "ServiceDllUnloadOnStop"=dword:00000001 "ServiceDll"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,\ 00,74,00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,\ 73,00,73,00,74,00,70,00,73,00,76,00,63,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,00,00 "ServerURI"="/sra_{BA195980-CD49-458b-9E23-C84EE0ADCD75}/" "ListenerPort"=dword:00000000 "UseHttps"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SstpSvc\Parameters\ConfigStore] "ListenerPort"=dword:00000000 "UseHttps"=dword:00000001 "V4CertPlumbedBySstp"=dword:00000000 "V6CertPlumbedBySstp"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SstpSvc\Security] "Security"=hex:01,00,14,80,90,00,00,00,9c,00,00,00,14,00,00,00,30,00,00,00,02,\ 00,1c,00,01,00,00,00,02,80,14,00,ff,01,0f,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,\ 00,00,02,00,60,00,04,00,00,00,00,00,14,00,8d,01,02,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,\ 05,0b,00,00,00,00,00,18,00,fd,01,02,00,01,02,00,00,00,00,00,05,20,00,00,00,\ 2c,02,00,00,00,00,18,00,ff,01,0f,00,01,02,00,00,00,00,00,05,20,00,00,00,20,\ 02,00,00,00,00,14,00,fd,01,02,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,12,00,00,00,01,01,\ 00,00,00,00,00,05,12,00,00,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,12,00,00,00 3. Save to Desktop, with the name sstp.reg. 4. Reboot into Safe Mode and run sstp.reg. It will prompt that the action will modify Registry. You should allow the change. In addition, some customers in another case discussed this problem may be related to Windows Event Log not starting causing 4201 and that leads this service not to start. And here is the way to fix it. Renaming or deleting the following folder seems to work for some users: C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\WMI\RtBackup REF: Event log error 4201 - ERROR_WMI_INSTANCE_NOT_FOUND (a helluva great thread) 1) Used msconfig to switch to safe mode boot 2) Booted to safe mode 3) ran cmd.exe as an administrator 4) typed "cd C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\WMI" 5) typed "rename RtBackup RtBackup2" 6) Used msconfig to switch to normal boot mode 7) Reboot and found event viewer working Please refer to this. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itpronetworking/thread/05af6a02-c3d9-42fb-80f3-1119ede089fd Kim Zhou TechNet Community Support
