That was the first thing I checked.
Also I disabled the site backup task in SCCM on Monday but the SQL backup 
service and the VSS service are still running.

Chech if the site server computer is part of the local admin group on the DPs 
and the tag bk folder.

I haven used the built-in backup feature for years, SQL is faster and all is 
needed to restore. There other drawbacks with built-in backup feature as well.

Since Monday my Single site primary SCCM 2012 R2 Sp1 installation has been 
generating errors and behaving strangely.

Single site primary Windows 2008R2 Enterprise Server on VMware with sql 2008R2 
on box, 13000 clients 115 distribution points.

Over the past weekend, the site backup failed apparently due to timeout 
connecting to network location.
Also starting Friday evening a colleague started to distribute a 500MB package 
to all distribution points.
As of Monday Morning only 75% of the dps had successfully received the package. 
I started to review the logs and notes lots of errors in the site status log 
(attached) errors connecting to drive volumes on every dp error 67 error 21 and 
errors connecting to the registry error 6.
Using the site server’s system account to connect to dp’s which is a member of 
the local administrators group on all dps, remote registry service is running 
on all dps.
Some of the errors are referring to volumes that do not exist on the server 
(there is no Z$ on the server in the example below

Also I noticed that while the SMS_SITE_BACKUP service was stopped on the site 
server both the SMS_SITE_SQL_BACKUP service and the SMS_SITE_VSS_WRITER service 
were running.
I tried stopping both and evening setting them to disabled but the keep getting 
restarted and have been running continuously at least since Monday.
The site seems to be functioning ok despite the issues I was able to create and 
distribute a test package
Collections and inventories seem to be running reports as well.
While my group manages sccm there is another group that manages all of the 
windows servers in the field (distribution points) so it is possible a change 
was made that broke the remote connectivity but it would have been “off book” 
and no one from that group is owning up to it.

Online searches have not provided any help. Any insight would be greatly 
appreciated.
