Errors trying to move Windows SharePoint Services Data on SBS 2008
When you try to move Windows SharePoint Services Data via the Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2008 server console, Backup and Server Storage on the tab Server Storage. You get this error: “An error occurred while attempting to move the Windows SharePoint Services data.” The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.
Solution: This error can occure after installing Microsoft Knowledge Base update kb957097. Read the article or this kb926642 carefully there are some methods to change a registry key witch give a solution. After changing the registry you have to restart your SBS 2008 server before the change take effect.
After restarting the server again tried to move Windows SharePoint Services Data the following error occurred: “An error occurred while attempting to move the Windows SharePoint Services data.” The remote name could not be resolved: ‘companyweb’
Solution: In DNS Manager create a cname record “companyweb” in your Forward Lookup Zone Domain.local and point this to servername.domain.local. (don’t forget the . dot at the end)
Hi there. I am migrating SBS from 2003 to 2008 and I get this error. Which server do the changes need to be made on? The source server or the destination server?
Cheers
Paul
Hi Paul,
If you are in the middle of the migration, then it doesn’t matter because both DNS servers should be in sync. If not then you should do this on the SBS 2008 server also make sure the DNS setting of you SBS 2008 is using itself as DNS server.
Great! works for me! Thank you!
