DCOM and RSM

Product: Windows Server 2003 - Standard Edition

Our scheduled NTBackup job fails and the only entries in the event log for
the correct time are as follows:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10009
Date: 8/18/2005
Time: 9:00:39 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: MHD01
Description:
DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer MHD02 using any of the
configured protocols.


Event Type: Information
Event Source: Removable Storage Service
Event Category: None
Event ID: 98
Date: 8/18/2005
Time: 9:01:09 PM
User: N/A
Computer: MHD01
Description:
RSM was stopped.

There is no system named MHD02 on our network. The server the error occurs
on was originally MHD02 until we ran the Domain-Rename utility on it and then
renamed the machine. This was done as part of our W2K3 rollout that took
place months ago. The job has only recently begun failing. Whenever the DCOM
error occurs, the job fails.

I have already scoured the registry for any references to MHD02 and came up
empty.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your assistance.

I have the same problem, but no solution.
Seems that old computer name is hardcoded in some file.

Maybe to put old server name in the hosts file.
But I didn't try that yet.

If you have other ideas or find solution please let me know.

By!

I was able to get around this by running the backup via .bat file.

It looks like this and is run as a scheduled task.

echo off
rsm.exe refresh /LF"<library name from RSM>"
sleep 30
for /f "Tokens=1-4 Delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do set dt=%%i-%%j-%%k-%%l
for /f "Tokens=1" %%i in ('time /t') do set tm=-%%i
set tm=%tm::=-%
set dtt=%dt%%tm%
c:\windows\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@<path to job>\<job name>.bks" /n
"%computername%-%dtt%" /d "Daily %dtt%" /v:yes /r:no /rs:no /hcn /m normal
/j "Daily %dtt%" /l:f /p "<media pool name from RSM" /UM
rsm.exe eject /PF"%computername%-%dtt% - 1" /astart
exit


I referenced this tech doc while writing the .bat file. It may assist you.
