Previous Version stopped working on network share

Environment: Server 2003 R2

Symptoms:

No previous versions of files are found when looking from client computer on network share. Seems to be set up ok, but when looking at Task Scheduler the job shows error “Could not Start”

Event Viewer shows no related errors at the latest runtime.

Solution:

1. Disable shadow copy and delete all scheduled jobs.
2. Delete or move files starting with “d42” from folder “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-18”
3. Enable shadow copy on disks and verify that task now can be started manually.

Cause:

Might be the account originally used to create the job doesn’t exist anymore.
