Description

Error Message

The 'Advanced' tab for the server properties in the (VAC) will show the following:

"No settings found"


A dtrace of MMC will show that we immediately enter and exit from populating the section list from the Extended settings list as follows:

197    13:59:27.315     [27524]    (mmc)    <38952>    EV:L    {VaultCoCreateInstanceEx} CLSID [{4EC6FF76-C97A-11D1-90E0-0000F879BE6A}] Server Name [(null)] Used Server Name [(null)] Num of attempts [1] Total elapsed [0.000s] Result [Success  (0)]

In a working environment there would be many lines of CExtendedSettingList::PopulateSettingsList  indicating that is was reading many values as follows:

Cause

The cause of this issue is that the root id which is based of the computerentry is missing from SQL. As a result when the MMC process attempts to queries the Advanced settings of a server there are no settings found for that EV server and it results in 'No settings found'.

Resolution

It is recommended to call into Enterprise Vault support in order to assist with resolving this issue. 

Issue/Introduction

There are no properties available on the Advanced tab for the properties of an (EV) server when access from the (VAC). Under the Advanced tab 'List Settings from:' will show "No sections found". Additionally, the main view will show "No settings found". As shown in the image below:
