Cannot access ABR10 Advanced Workstation management server

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I have ABR10 Advanced Workstation (Licensing, Console and management server) installed on a Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 (64-bit) server. It had been running fine for about 6 months but recently I've had issues connecting to the management server.

What happens is when I open up the console and try to connect to the management server, I get a message that says "Cannot connect to xxx. The required service on remote machine not started. Start the service and retry the connection".

When I look at the "Acronis Management Server Service" on the management server, it is stopped. When I restart it, it stops after a short time (20 seconds?) but immediately if I try to access the management server.

I had ABR10 build 10.0.11639 but downloaded the latest and upgraded to 12497 to see if it would resolve the issue. But it did not and I still cannot connect to the management server.

If anyone had similar issues and knows how to fix this issue, I would appreciate it greatly.

Thank you very much for your help.

Yes, this happened to me.

Check the Managed Machine Service and see what account it is using. This issue is to do with 'logon as a service' in group policies/local policies as upon an upgrade/install the Acronis account changes it's id slightly with a different set of numbers after the name Acronis12341234124 etc. So therefore it can't log on as a service and then ends after so many seconds.

Remove the old references in Active Directory and re-add it with logon as a service right in Group Policies. You will also need to do an gpupdate force.
