Windows 7 Cannot Access Shadow Copies in SBS 2003

We recommended to delete the value versus changing to 1 just to achieve parity to a default installation where the registry entry will not exist by default, as mentioned before, the results are the same.

FYI - This problem is not isolated to SBS2003; I found the exact same issue with Windows Server 2003 Standard SP2.

Rick is exactly correct, you can simply set the value of DisableDownLevelTimewarp to 1(one) to resolve the issue; you don't have to delete the key.

For anyone curious, the historic meaning of it (also shows that setting it to 1 would work):

"Set the value of the DisableDownLevelTimewarp registry key to 0 (zero) to enable Shadow Copies for Shared Folders from clients running Windows 2000. Set the value of the DisableDownLevelTimewarp registry key to 1 (one), the default, to disable Shadow Copies for Shared Folders from clients running Windows 2000."

@BV

Sp2 should work, but we did our testing with the latest version (XP SP3).

Is there any other workaround? Have not loaded SP3 on my network PC's and plan to add Win 7 soon.
