- Do we have any progress? I have the same Problem. Windows Server 2022 Core incl. FOD should remotely managed Volume Shadow Copy. If the firewall is turned on with the option: Log dropped packages ... nothing is logged in the firewall log. If the firewall is turned off VSS managenment is possible. No idea whats wrong.
- I already have the solution. I'm writing an article soon, I'll post the link here.
- I already did this procedure!
- try this command or disable your firewall for testing.
