Symptoms

Assume that you have a Windows Server 2012 R2-based or Windows Server 2012-based failover cluster that uses the Windows Volume Shadow Copy feature. You try to schedule a shadow copy task. For example, in Windows Explorer, you right-click a shared disk, and then you click Properties. Under the Shadow Copies tab, you select the shared disk, and then you click Enable.

In this situation, the shadow copy task is not created immediately. After some time, you receive an error message that resembles the following:

Failed to create a default schedule for creating shadow copies of volume xx. Error 0x80070102: The wait operation timed out


Note

  • The shadow copy task may be created after several hours.

  • You may receive another error message that resembles the following:

    0x80004005: Unspecified error

Cause

This issue occurs because a worker thread incorrectly maintains a slim reader/writer (SRW) lock when the worker thread is in sleep state. Therefore, the listener thread cannot obtain the lock to push the work item into the queue.

To resolve this issue in Windows Server 2012 R2, install update rollup 2887595. 

To resolve this issue in Windows Server 2012, install update rollup 2903938, or install the hotfix that is described in this article.

The dates and the times for these files are listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The dates and the times for these files on your local computer are displayed in your local time together with your current daylight saving time (DST) bias.

Windows Server 2012 file information notesImportant Windows 8 hotfixes and Windows Server 2012 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, only "Windows 8" is listed on the Hotfix Request page. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 8" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:

    Version

    Product

    Milestone

    Service branch

    6.2.920 0.16 xxx

    Windows Server 2012

    RTM

    GDR

    6.2.920 0.20 xxx

    Windows Server 2012

    RTM

    LDR

  • GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.

  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows Server 2012" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintain the state of the updated components. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
