SMS_SITE_VSS_WRITER issue

[aionescu]

Hello Everyone.

 

Last month I had to restore the my Primary standalone SCCM server on a new VM as part of a datacenter migration.

I've used the same FQDN and it went quite easy. Configuration: SCCM 2012 R2 CU3 running on Windows 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012 all of them running on the same machine.

 

After the migration I didn't really created / replicated big packages, until last week.

Then I've noticed all large packages were failing to distribute. I've looked and the it looks like SMS_Exec restarting every 15 minutes and this kills the transfer/

 

Of course I've started to check the distrmgr.log and pkgXfermgr.log.

 

pkgXfermgr.log:

Of course there are no pending reboots.

 

I've looked in Windows Logs ->Application and found this:

component SMS_SITE_VSS_WRITER on computer XXXXXXX reported: SMS Writer is about to stop the ConfigMgr Services as part of the preparation for the Site backup.

 

Of course at that time there was no site backup scheduled. Just to make sure I've disabled the regular site backup task and the SQL DB backup tasks but the issue is still the same.

 

Does anybody have any idea?

After some digging I've found this is SMSwriter.log :

The only thing is that I don't have a SCOM installation.
