Hi all
i've a problem : when i want to backup the AD ( exactly all the
SystemState) i get an error :

The 'Active Directory' returned 'The parameter is incorrect' from a call to
'BackupRead()'

If i check the backup log i can see the AD is not backed up.
It occurs if i use a backup operator group member. If i use an
administrator group member i can backup normally.

i've checked the AD database and no error detected.
What can i do?

I have many servers and only get this problem in 2 of them. All servers have
same configuration and same policies applied.

can you help me?

Thanks in advanced

Salva,

Remember the AD or the System State on a Domain Controller can only be
backed up by a Domain Administrator. A backup Operator does not have the
rights to do this.
 
Hi Ryan,
i think you're wrong because i'm backing up all of my DCs using a backup
operator without administration rights and all but 2 are working fine.

thanks for your reply.
