Need more help with this. Still cant get past the error. Here is some
information from the logs and the person setting things up:

"The server is a Windows Server 2003.  IIS 6 is installed.  In addition,
it is a Sharepoint Services Server.  It also serves as a back end to
Microsoft Project Server...MS SQL 2000 sp3a.  The application, Project
Server, also requires Analysis Service. I've manipulated the SQL
permissions and NTFS permissions to no avail."

Re: MS-SQL TDP return code - error






Zoltan,

You need to examine the log file or output of Data Protection for SQL.
RC=1912 means a VDS creation error. This happens when
Data Protection for SQL has asked to create a VDI connection
to the SQL Server in order to perform a backup or restore,
and the creation failed. The VDI error log and or SQL Server
log may also provide more information on why this creation failed.

If this is the first time running this on this machine,
it is most likely a permissions issue. If this was working
and then stopped and has not corrected itself, then something
else may be going on. In the latter case, a trace will
provide additional information.

Thanks,

Del
