Hi their, I hope to find some light over here. I got a couple of servers that has the same problem. All of them are Windows Server 2003 32-bits with SP2 and running TSM Client 6.2.3.1.
When I try to backup System State do I get following error ANS1705E System Writers 'system writer' 'WMI Writer' do not exist, following by many ANS1417W that are created by the first error. When I searching on the web do I found a couple of ideas to recreate/modify a couple of registry values/catalogs, but before I start with try-n-error method do I find out what's really going on and when I run the WMIDiag tool from Microsoft do I got following error. 35718 10:04:07 (0) ** - Root/CIMv2, InstancesOf, 'Win32_ComputerSystem' did not return any instance while AT LEAST 1 instance is expected. 35719 10:04:07 (0) ** MOF Registration: '' When I search on that error do I get 0 results that are similar. So if you have any ideas how to solve this problem should I be glad to get that information. Thanks Christian
