Alright so i know there's posts for this all over the internet, but i haven't seen a case of the error in the same environment that Ive gotten the error in. So to anyone who isn't familiar with the error:
It occurs with the Sage50/Peach tree software and has either something to do with .net or is a windows related issue. Sage50/Peach tree suggests reinstalling windows, or deleting the user account that is causing the error and recreating the account in order
to fix it(which on a working domain is obviously not a good decision).
In my company we are running Hyper-V with a small pool of machines (which run the Peach tree software). A few weeks ago we had a power failure in our city for a few hours over the weekend. Prior to the failure the software was working fine on Hyper-V, however
following the failure our remote users get a error message saying "PAWEncrypt AcquireOurContainer Error -<Numbers>". When i use the Hyper-V console at the server i have no issues, so that one is a tad confusing.
Ive tried updating IE (which worked until i logged off then back on to the machine), We have also tried the regedits suggested on the various pages regarding this issue. I've seen a lot of this issue out there but none of the issue while in Hyper-V, I'm wondering if there's any guru's out there with a possible fix. We can always blow the pool away and recreate it but the issue there is windows Licenses. I'm trying to not throw them away if possible.
I did call sage50 which they said that this issue is generally indicating that there's a problem in windows regarding the users account on the domain(But we only have this issue remotely so i would think that the account is fine).
Also one note in case anyone else is visualizing Peach tree, Ive fixed this issue once in the past. I had to blow the pool away and recreate from a new gold image. I wouldn't suggest doing that unless your totally out of options.
We are running Hyper-V on server 2012. And as for Steady State, It has never been on any of my servers.
