Mailbox backup in Exhange Server 2007

Question

Hello, I have hit a wall in a test configuration. I have a hard time interpreting the manual. I have set up a Networker 7.4 server box using SuSe. I'm trying to backup mailboxes (there are actually only two test mailboxes) in a Exchange 2007 box (no clusters). I actually got 3 Exchange server, where the first (EX01) is the 'Information Store', second (EX02) is Edge Transport and the third (EX03) is Client Access. I configured a client (EX01) to backup saveset MSEXCH: which ran just fine. I configured another client (EX01) to backup the saveset MSEXCH:MB using the remote user DOMAIN\Administrator. The client fails with 'Insufficient permissions to access mailbox. See documentation for required permission settings'. I have taken these steps, according to the manual. 1. Installed Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects 1.2.1 on EX01. 2. Ran following on EX01: ¿get-ExchangeServer ex01 | Add-AdPermission ¿user Administrator -extendedrights Receive-As,Send-As¿. 3. Added DOMAIN\Administrator as a member of the group 'Exchange Organization Administrators'. I have trouble interpreting this (see page 90 in NetWorker Module for Microsoft Exchange Server 5.1 Administration Guide). 'To back up or recover a mailbox or public folder, the Windows domain account to log on to the NetWorker server host must be a member of the Exchange Administrators group.' I assumed that it meant 'The user set as Remote User in the client configuration must be in the Exchange Administrators group'. Is that wrong? Secondly, this also made me wonder. Same page; 'To set the permissions for items in a mailbox for Exchange 2007:', run get-ExchangeServer (see step 2 above). I assumed I only had to do this once for the Administrator (see step 2 above), but if you read carefully you can think they mean I should run this command for each mailbox in the organization. I hope I have missed something in the manual, if anyone can point me to the right direction it would be much appreciated. Thanks, JL

I recently configured a BSM for Exchange 5.1 and
hadn't got any permissions problem. As far I can see
it could be necessary that you add the following:

get-ExchangeServer ex01 | Add-AdPermission ¿user
DOMAIN\Administrator -extendedrights
Receive-As,Send-As

I hope this helps you

Hello,

I already ran that command to set the permission, even with DOMAIN. The it said it's already set, so DOMAIN isn't necessary.

After some digging I found out that you apparently need to create a Public Folder Database, otherwise MAPI won't connect. Too bad sense running without a Public Folder was a feature for Exchange 2007. We'll hopefully see a fix for this in the future.

I created the Public Folder Database and it works perfectly now.

Thanks,

JL

Hi I am having the same problem. I am not very familiar with exchange 2007 since I am a backup guy. Can you tell me where to go to create a public folder database

NetWorker
