Wbadmin.msc Snap-in Missing After Installing Windows Server Backup Feature - A Workaround Using Netw



The Scheduled backup policy folder in task scheduler is missing or broken. On startup the wbadmin.msc snap-in queries, the scheduled tasks resulting in an error when they are missing or otherwise broken.


Hi. I have installed a new Windows Server 2012 R2 server and I would like to use the Windows Backup services. I installed the Feature and I do not have the Windows Backup management console in the Administrative Tools. When I look for *.msc in Windows\System32 it is not there. The wbaadmin.msc is located in C:\Windows\System32\en-us. but clearly the system isn't woring properly, since if I try to run that (wbaadmin.msc) it gives and error that it cannot load the MMC. I'm not sure what to do here to get Backup Services going. I have tried removing the feature, rebooting and reinstalling the feature and rebooting, still the same problem.




Wbadmin.msc Snap-in Missing After Installing Windows Server Backup Feature




The Scheduled backup policy folder in task scheduler is missing or broken. On startup the wbadmin.msc snapin queries the scheduled tasks resulting in an error when they are missing or otherwise broken.


Helio. There is no wbadmin.msc I can copy it from another server and run, but I have information "MMC can't create snap-in" I have shortcut (from another server) but is "empty" and doesn't work.


Just came across the same symptoms on a Windows 2012 server. The fixes in this article worked. Windows Server Backup was functioning normally until I removed WSUS. After that, wbadmin.msc wouldn't launch, and removing/re-installing the WSB role wouldn't fix the problem.


Windows Server 2012 - Standard (TR) server to add the Windows Server Backup feature, and even though I'm the manager at the Administrative tools in the Windows Server Backup application can not see. Copy from one server to another when I run the system32 year Wbadmin.msc the MMC could not create the snap-in do I receive the error. Can you help me plase


Just noticed that Wbadmin.msc is not included anymore, and if you copy the snap-in from server 2012R2 and paste it into windows 10 windows folder, I have not gotten the mmc snapin to initialize, looks like its deprecated in windows 10.

I've done quite a bit of research and it should be possible to do something similar in 2008 but then manually, The howto is described in the following link: -version-and-space-management-in-windows-server-backup.aspx . Basically it describes that you should use DiskShadow.exe to remove e.g. the oldest snapshot with a command like :


We ordered our latest DELL PowerEdge server without OS and after installing Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 discovered this hidden 2GB OS partition. After assigning a drive letter Z: to it I discovered that it's empty (I don't see any file or folder in it) but the hard disk drive / properties reports 14.4MB of used space and 1.98GB of free space. Even showing hidden files and folder I cannot understand what those 14.4MB refer to.


I have installed the Windows Server Backup feature several times in Windows Server 2012, but the "Windows Server Backup UI" is missing under the "Administrative Tools" and under the \System32\wbadmin.msc .


Windows Server Backup provides several Group Policy settings that give you some limited control over how backups work on your servers. With these backup policies, you can mitigate some of the risks associated with people performing unauthorized backups to obtain access to unauthorized data. The options include:Allow Only System Backup If this is set, Windows Server Backup can only back up critical system volumes. It cannot perform volume backups. Disallow Locally Attached Storage as Backup Target When enabled, this setting does not allow backups to locally attached drives. You can only back up to a network share.Disallow Network as Backup Target This setting does not allow backing up to any network share.Disallow Optical Media as Backup Target When this is set, Windows Server Backup cannot back up to any optical device, such as a recordable DVD drive.Disallow Run-Once Backups This setting does not allow Windows Server Backup to run unscheduled, ad hoc backups. Only backups that are scheduled through the Windows Server Backup MMC snap-in are allowed to run.


If you want to script the backup process, or if you are backing up a server on a Server Core installation, you can use the WBADMIN.EXE command-line program. WBADMIN provides a complete set of options that perform essentially the same functions as the MMC snap-in, including managing backup schedules.


The backup scheduler that is integrated with the Windows Server Backup is really designed to do one thing: simplify scheduling of daily full-system backups to a local disk volume. You can use the built-in scheduler to automatically rotate backups among multiple target volumes. If you have easily removable hard drives (or you are using USB-attached hard drives), you can use this feature to set up a rotation scheme where you remove the backup disk and store it off-site and return the oldest backup disk to the server for the next scheduled backup.


This command will delete all the scheduled backup jobs created by the Windows Server Backup scheduler and release all the backup target volumes for normal use. Note that you can always use the WBADMIN MMC snap-in to remotely manage the backup and restore activities of Server Core servers.

Windows Backup and Restore is a snap-in tool for Windows system backup and file backup. But sometimes you may fail to create a system image with an error message "The backup failed. The RPC server is unavailable. (0x800706BA)". This post will give you another backup program and five solutions to solve this error code 0x800706BA in Windows 10.

The error usually appears when you are about to open the Even Viewer, Task Scheduler, or Group Policy Editor.\r\n\r\nThere are no universal fixes to the problem and you will unfortunately have to really follow through all of the methods which were reported to be working by the users. Note that not all solutions are related to the same operating system and good luck!\r\nSolution 1: Visual C++ Issue\r\nSome folks were on the phone with Microsoft regarding the problem and it appears that a series of steps is needed to fix the problem. The problem, however, may disappear even after a couple of steps so make sure you check regularly on whether the error still appears.\r\n\r\nFirst of all, you will need to reinstall the Visual C++ Redistributable Package since it\u2019s one of the main causes for this exact problem. Microsoft explained that the problem was caused by Visual C++ returning a bad pointer which triggers this issue.\r\n\r\n \tClick on the Start menu and open Control Panel by searching for it in the Start menu. Also, you can click on the gear icon in order to open the Settings app if you are using Windows 10.\r\n \tIn Control Panel, select the View as: Category option at the top right corner and click on Uninstall a Program under the Programs section at the bottom of the Control panel window.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tIf you are using the Settings app on Windows 10, clicking on Apps should immediately open a list of all installed programs on your PC.\r\n \tLocate Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package in Control Panel or Settings and click on Uninstall. You might notice that there are several different versions. You will need to make note of them and repeat the uninstalling process for each one. You may need to confirm some dialog boxes and follow the instructions which will appear along with the uninstallation wizard.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tClick Finish when the uninstaller completes the process and repeat the uninstalling process for all versions of the Visual C++ Package. Now, you will need to reinstall them by locating them here. Select the version you want to download and choose the download according to the architecture of your processor (32-bit or 64-bit).\r\n \tLocate the file you just downloaded in the Windows folder, run it, and follow the instructions on-screen in order to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package. Repeat the same process for all versions you previously uninstalled and check to see if the same error still appears.\r\n\r\nIf you notice that the problem still won\u2019t go away even after you apply these fixes, you might need to update your computer to the latest version if you still haven\u2019t done so. Windows 10 will automatically download and install updates for you unless you refuse to install them. However, older versions of Windows won\u2019t so follow the steps below in order to know for sure whether you computer is fully updated.\r\n\r\n \tHold the Windows Key and press X in order to open this special context menu. You can also right-click on the Start menu. Choose Windows Powershell (Admin).\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tIn the Powershell console, type cmd and wait for Powershell to switch to the cmd-like environment.\r\n \tIn the \u201ccmd\u201d console, type in the following command and make sure you click Enter afterwards:\r\n\r\nwuauclt.exe \/updatenow\r\n\r\n \tLet this command run for at least an hour and check back to see if any updates were found and\/or installed successfully.\r\n\r\nSolution 2: Install the Latest Version of .NET Framework\r\nIf you have an old version of .NET Framework and you try to run an application which requires a newer version, this error is bound to appear and you won\u2019t be able to use the app until you have updated .NET Framework completely. The newest version of .NET Framework differs from one operating system to another so make sure you choose the adequate one.\r\n\r\nNavigate to this link and click the red download button in order to download the latest version of Microsoft .NET Framework. After the download has finished, locate the file you downloaded and run it. Note that you will need to have constant access to the Internet. Follow the instructions on-screen to proceed with the installation.\r\n\r\n \tAfter installing the latest version, it\u2019s time to check its integrity. On your keyboard, use the Windows Key + R key combination to open the Run dialog box.\r\n \tType in Control Panel and click OK in order to open it.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tClick the Uninstall a Program option and click Turn Windows features on or off. Make sure you locate the .NET Framework 4.6.1 entry and make sure it\u2019s enabled.\r\n \tIf the check box next to .NET Framework 4.6.1 is not enabled, enable it by clicking the box. Click OK to close the Windows Feature window and reboot the computer.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tIf .Net Framework 4.6.1 is already enabled, you can repair .Net Framework by clearing the box and rebooting the computer. After the computer has restarted, re-enable .Net Framework and restart the computer again.\r\n\r\nSolution 3: Replace a Folder from a Working System\r\nIf the problem is really related to an error regarding a certain folder on your computer, you can fix it by replacing the folder from a different system where the problem is not active. Note that you will need to find a system identical to the one you have installed on your PC. You can also try a Google search.\r\n\r\n \tLocate this folder on a working system and copy it entirely to a removable USB drive. Make sure you take note of the version name which is represented by \u2018x\u2019s in the folder location below:\r\n\r\nC:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework64\\vxxxxx\r\n\r\n\r\n \tStart your computer and make sure you replace the folder on your system. However, you will need to take ownership of it in order to proceed with this process.\r\n \tRight-click the file, click Properties, and then click the Security tab. Click the Advanced button. The \"Advanced Security Settings\" window will appear. Here you need to change the Owner of the key.\r\n \tClick the Change link next to the \"Owner:\" label The Select User or Group window will appear.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tSelect the user account via the Advanced button or just type your user account in the area which says 'Enter the object name to select' and click OK. Add the Administrator account.\r\n \tOptionally, to change the owner of all subfolders and files inside the folder, select the check box \"Replace owner on subcontainers and objects\" in the \"Advanced Security Settings\" window. Click OK to change the ownership.\r\n \tReplace the folder and check to see if the error still appears.\r\n\r\nSolution 4: Remove a Certain Registry Key\r\nThis registry key is directly related to the core of the issue and if it goes corrupt, the error at hand will definitely show up more often that it\u2019s supposed to. The problem can eb solved easily by simply deleting this key.\r\n\r\nBefore proceeding with this solution, it\u2019s recommended that you close all of your running programs and it\u2019s advisable to create a backup of your registry just in case something goes terribly wrong when you delete the key. Backup your registry by following the instructions in our article.\r\n\r\n \tOpen the Registry Editor by typing \u201cregedit\u201d in either the search bar or the Run dialog box. Navigate to the following key in Registry Editor:\r\n\r\nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> Software >> Microsoft >> MMC >> SnapIns >> Fx >> b05566ad-fe9c-4363-BE05-7a4cbb7cb510\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n \tDelete this key by right-clicking on it and the right-side of the screen where its path tree is located and confirm the warning dialog. Check to see if the problem still appears when you restart your computer.\r\n\r\nSolution 5: Rename the mmc.exe File in System32\r\nSimply renaming a file in System32 can take care of the problem for you but note that this method does not work all the time and you should consider yourself extremely lucky if this one works for you. On the other hand, the method is simple to try out and it can be reverted easily if something goes wrong.\r\n\r\n \tNavigate to the following location in your File Explorer which can be accessed from the toolbar at the bottom part of your screen.C >> Windows >> System32\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n \tLocate and right-click on a file called mmc.exe and choose the Rename option. Try to rename it to \u2018mmc.exe.old\u2019. If a dialogue box appears prompting for administrator permissions, confirm it and try again.\r\n \tCheck to see if the problem is solved.\r\n","publisher":"@id":"#Publisher","@type":"Organization","name":"Appuals.com","logo":"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/appuals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/apuals_new_logo_B-1.png","publishingPrinciples":"https:\/\/appuals.com\/about\/#go-to-editorial-guidelines","sameAs":["https:\/\/facebook.com\/appuals","https:\/\/twitter.com\/appuals","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/appuals\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCR--2QnA0vYBfqsmSI3pQ9g","https:\/\/www.crunchbase.com\/organization\/appuals"],"author":"@type":"Person","name":"Kevin Arrows","url":"https:\/\/appuals.com\/author\/admin\/","description":"Kevin is a dynamic and self-motivated information technology professional, with a Thorough knowledge of all facets pertaining to network infrastructure design, implementation and administration.
