Hi just did a new install of SBS2008, when trying to setup an off-site backup
we discovered that the Volume Shadow Copy Service wont start and gives and
Error 1053. the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
Also WBADMIN wont start it says "catastrophic failure" when it is tried?

Any suggestions?

Hello,

Thanks for your posting here.

When did this issue begin to occur? Has it ever worked before? Have you tried reboot your SBS 2008 server?

The Error 1053 is a common error that service cannot be started due to corrupted system file or conflict with other service and programs. First of all, I would like suggest you disable all anti-virus and
anti-spam programs. Check the server Event log for more clues and post back these error messages if necessary. At the same time, you may also try a Clean Boot.

Clean boot
=================
Let's disable all startup items and third party services when booting. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading program or service. Please perform the following steps:

1. Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.
Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window.

2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".

Then, restart the computer. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box
and click OK.

Please test this issue in the Clean Boot environment, if the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, we can use a 50/50 approach to quickly narrow down which entry is causing the issue.

For more information about this step, please refer to the following KB article:

Overriding default SBS 2008 policies Windows Server We have an SBS 2008 located at one site of a multi-site network connected via site-to-site VPN tunnels. I added a group policy that explicitly allowed Remote Desktop through the Windows firewall for the three subnets involved. However, the SBS 2008 canned Windows XP Policy lists me from making RDP connections across the VPN. I edited the canned policy directly to substitute my own preferences, but will SBS 2008 erase that the next time a wizard is run? Could I get the desired effect
