We are seeing new errors on various Windows 2003 servers, which we think
are related to recent M$ patches (so, what else is new).  The client
confirms that updates were applied on the same day the first failures
started.

The symptoms/error messages are:

08/15/2008 05:57:38 ANS1009W An error occurred processing the operating
system include/exclude statements.
The error was detected while processing:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup\DRM.
RC = 13.
08/18/2008 02:04:34 ANS5250E An unexpected error was encountered.
   TSM function name : isVolumeSupported
   TSM function      : IsVolumeSupported() returned

   TSM function name : vssCheckVolumeSupport
   TSM function      : isVolumeSupported() returned unexpected error for
volume '\\den3print\c$'
   TSM return code   : 4353
   TSM file          : vssback.cpp (3075)
08/18/2008 02:04:35 ANS5258E An error occurred initializing a VSS request.
For more information, see the TSM client error log.

Going back in the log for 2+ weeks does not show any of these errors.

This client is a 5.5.0.2 and I suggested upgrading to 5.5.1.1 as a
minimum.  I haven't been able to find anything definitive when searching
IBM.COM.


Any thoughts?
