SQL VSS writer issue

Hi all,

I'm having quite an unusual issue regarding the SQL vss writer. Whats basically happening is that it does not seem to be registered at all on the server.

The service is installed and started but it is not displayed when the "vssadmin list writers" command is run. (Output below)

I have tried stopping and restarting the service, I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the component with no luck.

I am running SQL 2005 with SP 2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a mill,

Try updating to latest build of SQL and see if it helps.

Do you mean upgrade to 2008?

I am looking for a fix to the issue without having to rebuild as this server is used in a production sharepoint envirnment.

Thanks for your input.

I did not mean upgrading to SQL 2008, but applying latest patch (Cumulative Update 10 is latest) to SQL Server 2005.
