Recently I was working on a SBS 2011 box and the system would not let me make changes to Shadow copies for the drives. I would make a change to the settings and it would report an error and would not save my settings. After poking at the system a bit I found that the VSS services have reported an issue.
Level: Warning
Source: VSS
Event ID: 8230
Log Name: Application
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Failed resolving account spsearch with status 1376. Check connection to domain controller and VssAccessControl registry key. Operation: Initializing Writer Context: Writer Class Id: {368753ec-572e-4fc7-b4b9-ccd9bdc624cb} Writer Name: TS Gateway Writer Error-specific details: Error: NetLocalGroupGetMemebers(spsearch), 0x80070560, The specified local group does not exist.
The system had added SharePoint Users to the VSS registry entries. Running the SharePoint update with force cleared this error.
