Hi,
I finally solved the problem.
As I mentioned in the initial message (which is included below) the
system serves DFS.
With the commands supplied by Scott Bingham I was able to determine that
the problem occurred on one of the DFS root directories. I removed it
and everything works fine!
(Luckily it was still only a test installation)
My guess is that there have been tests with replication between multiple
targets, and that wasn't cleaned up correctly.
I recreated the DFS root and the only link and everything keeps working.
The command used for determining the cause (run on the client):
C:\> save -s <server> -vvvvv -m <client> -L -D 5
Thanks everyone for your suggestions, and many thanks to Scott for
handing the commands which allowed me to solve it.
regards,
Dennis Voetelink

The original question:
Hi,
Last week I upgraded our networker server to 7.4sp2, and after that
(most of) our clients too.
I changed all windows 2003 systems to use the new VSS save sets, but I
have 2 systems on which this fails with the following errors:
* nrgpad2.nrgnet.intra:C:\ 1 retry attempted
* nrgpad2.nrgnet.intra:C:\ ERROR: VSS failed to initialize for
directives, error=0x800704d0: The network location cannot be reached.
For information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help.
* nrgpad2.nrgnet.intra:C:\
* nrgpad2.nrgnet.intra:C:\ 7154:save: Unable to set up VSS filesystem
directives. Failed to back up C:\.
* nrgpad2.nrgnet.intra:VSS SYSTEM BOOT:\ 1 retry attempted
* nrgpad2.nrgnet.intra:VSS SYSTEM BOOT:\ VSS SYSTEM BOOT: ERROR: VSS
failed to add comps in pre save, writer=FRS Writer, error=0x800704d0:
The network location cannot be reached. For information about network
troubleshooting, see Windows Help.
* nrgpad2.nrgnet.intra:VSS SYSTEM BOOT:\
* nrgpad2.nrgnet.intra:VSS SYSTEM BOOT:\ 39078:save: RPC error: RPC
cannot encode arguments
* nrgpad2.nrgnet.intra:VSS SYSTEM BOOT:\
* nrgpad2.nrgnet.intra:VSS SYSTEM BOOT:\ 7162:save: save of VSS SYSTEM
BOOT:\ to ecnfds.ad.intra failed
Both systems are w2k3 sp2 domain controllers with DNS and DFS. Other
identical systems for another domain run without any problems.
The C: drive is a physical disk in the system, so I don't understand
what the message
I couldn't find anything about these messages anywhere.
'The network location cannot be reached' is about....
Anyone got any pointers?
Dennis
