Wow, that describes my problem exactly. And I am running a 64bit Server. Maybe I will give it another shot. Thank you for pointing this out for me.

@Marc A: I don’t know if you are still open for DPM SP1, but the error ID 112 you mentioned in your first comment may have been fixed:

Great news, E.J. I agree that SP1 release is somehwat questionable

Microsoft Australia posted this fix, with some additional information: http://blogs.technet.com/askcore/archive/2008/12/24/error-207-no-such-interface-supported-0×80004002-after-installing-dpm-sp1.aspx

Thanks for inquiring with Microsoft. At least they are aware of the issues. I just do not understand how they can release SP1 with such obvious issues. I guess we will see what happens when the rollup in released. Thanks again E.J.

Hey Marc;

I just talked with Microsoft Support and they said sometime this month, they will have a roll up package to fix the SP 1 issue we are having ID 112.

I had to down grade and it is working fine as it was before.

I also have had problems with SP 1, and ID 112. Seems like random files on my file server suddenly creates an error during a sync. Tried the above fixes, and its a no go. Everything was fine before SP1. Looks like I”m “down grading”.

I did disable the AV completely. Even went as far as deleting all replicas and recivery points on disk. In the end, I went back to the original version that I had, restored the DB, re-installed all agents back to original version, and all is well again. Maybe SP2 will be a charm for me since SP1 did not really add any functionality that I need at this point.
I must say that this was a good drill for me in learning first hand how to re-install DPM and restore the database. It just took FOREVER to get everything done.

@Marc Abbaticchio:

This is a long shot, but could it be that a virus scanner is messing things up? Could you disable the virus scanner on the protected server AND on the DPM server for just a short test and see if this fixes the problem?

If it does, exclude the DPM Agent install directory from being scanned.
