Re: Information Not Updating... Heeeelp!
Thanks Cubert. The plugin is not updating at all at the moment so i'm back to manual checks for now.
Re: Information Not Updating... Heeeelp!
releasing new build today, I have changed several things in the collection of data. Now uses a different LT executor, runs twice a day and can now run undisturbed for up to 12 hours without stomping on itself for larger clients who have lots of data to collect.
Re: Information Not Updating... Heeeelp!
Also added new custom "multiple schedules" field so on servers that support it (2008r2 - 2012R2) you can have a multiple daily recover points for your servers now.. very cool!

Re: Information Not Updating... Heeeelp!
Greetings.
I'm having similar issues. Some backups are showing up red, 7 out of 15. However when I manually checked WSB they all backed up fine. On 4 of those 7, it's still blank for 'last backup' and all daily backups have been successful. The other 3 are reporting the backup day before yesterday.
2 are backing up to a network share, the other 5 to guid based USB externals. I have a mix of 2008, 2008 R2, and 2012 servers in that 15.
I'm sure you need more information, let me know what I need to provide.
Oh, something I did see in the command history on ALL of my servers, even the ones that are working is this line:
Parameters: %windir%\LTSvc\BackupWindows\getSyncTaskStatus.ps1!!!!!Param(
[Param
Output: ERR an error occurred: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Windows\LTSvc\BackupWindows\getSyncTaskStatus.ps1'.
I checked and there isn't a folder called BackupWindows under the LTSvc folder. Should I just make one? I don't think it's related to my problem though, as the successful ones get it too.
Thanks,
Mark

Re: Information Not Updating... Heeeelp!
Really, Yes please make folder and see if different results.. May have a missing Folder create command in script.
Re: Information Not Updating... Heeeelp!
Also watch for failing powershell commands when the script runs, post output of manual execution of Powershell scripts the LT script creates.

Re: Information Not Updating... Heeeelp!
Ok, I made the BackupWindows folder under LTSvc. I checked that folder later and there was a script file called "getsynctaskstatus.ps1"
Now I get this:
Exception calling "GetBytes" with "1" argument(s): "Array cannot be null.
Parameter name: chars"
At C:\windows\ltsvc\backupwindows\getSyncTaskStatus.ps1:11 char:76
+ $d = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes <<<< ($allLines))
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
ERROR: The system cannot find the file specified.
You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
At C:\windows\ltsvc\backupwindows\getSyncTaskStatus.ps1:14 char:19
+ if($b.Contains <<<< ("Backup")){
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (Contains:String) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvokeMethodOnNull
I tried stepping through the script and to me the amateur, it appears that the variable $allLines gets defined in the IF portion but not the ELSE which is where I think the script goes since there's no C:\Windows\LTSvc\BackupWindows\Sync.log
As to the second error, I don't see a $b defined anywhere. There's a $d but not a $b. Again, what I know about powershell scripts is extremely limited.
In any case, I'm still confused as to why 9 of my 16 servers are reporting in just fine even though they never had the BackupWindows folder to put that script in so I can't see how it ever ran on them. perhaps now that the folder is there something different will happen when the backups run tonight.
Thanks for your help!
