Cause

This issue can occur when specific software restriction group policies are applied to EV servers causing interference in the activities of the EV application.

Resolution

If experiencing this issue try to confirm whether there are any software restriction group policies applied to the EV servers (using a tool of choice such as rsop.msc or gpresult /h). Isolate the interference by reviewing the policies Apply Software Restriction Policy to the following and Apply Software Restriction Policy to the following users under Enforcement to not check DLL's and not apply to the local administrators respectively and confirm the behavior thereafter.

To browse the above policies use rsop.msc on the EV server (while logged in as the VSA which should be a member of local administrators group) expand Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Software Restriction Policies > Enforcement and:

1.  Make sure All software files except libraries (such as DLLs) is selected

2.  Make sure All Users except local administrators is selected

3. Use the Group Policy Management console to update the group policy for the EV server so that the appropriate settings are updated.  

4. Once the group policy is updated the following can be performed from an Administrator CMD prompt to update the EV server(s): gpupdate /force

Note: The crash may also be seen for other Veritas related / non-related EXE's with same/similar msvcrXX.dll as the faulting module failing with the same Exception code: 0xc0000135.
