Description
There has recently been a number of issues with Sharepoint 2010 and Macrium Reflect. This issue occurs if you are sunning Sharepoint 2010 on Windows SBS 2011 and have Sharepoint SP1 installed (KB2510766). To remedy this issue you will need to use the psconfig (powershell configurator) utility which will be installed on your server.
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) was recently released through Microsoft Update. On a default installation, Windows SBS 2011 Standard administrators should be able to see it in the SBS Console and would need to approve it for installation before it is offered for installation on the server.
