Hi Everybody
The last few hours i was working on creating custom quiescing scripts.
I tried to keep at close as possible to KB 1006671.
Every time i tried to start a snapshot with memory "False" and quiesce "True", the snapshot failed because the script returned with a errorlevel >0.
The snapshot even failed without a script inside C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\backupScripts.d\
After two hours of testing and debugging i found out that the folder C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\backupScripts.d\ had a thumbs.db inside.
I deleted the file and every thing was working.
I'm now searching for a way to remove the file from the folder or exclude it.
Could someone please check if he has the same problems?
Best regards
Andreas Girrbach
This kind of file is usally generate by the Preview mode of Explorer.
Maybe you have set this kind of view in this folder.

Yes, i know how the file is beeing created. But it drives me crazy that the VMware Tools are trying to execute this systemfile as a script.
