Hi guys,

I have a number of NT servers in a non domain environment (i.e. All stand alone servers) and I am having problems attaching to the Registry and/or Admin$ details on the nightly backup run.
The registry is checked for backup but for every remote server that I backup, I get the same error message every time...

E3201 Unable to conect to network drive. (Drive=\\172.10.10.10\ADMIN$, EC=NO SUCH LOGON SESSION)

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks for your help in advance!

It seems that UserID & Password for ArcServer (assigned on installation, can be changed via ArcServe Admin screen) is not the same as on each NT servers. To solve this you can create another userID with admin capacity for all NT machine then assign this id to ArcServe account.

If you are auditing logon/logoff on the servers you will probably see failed login attempts by the backup server.

Since you are not running a domain the exact same account/password for use by ArcServer needs to be setup with admin privledge on each server you are trying to backup.
