Dear All, I'm trying to restore a an Exchange database to RSG. This is a an Exchange 2007 RU6 SP3 in sitting on a cluster. We've configured CCR. Now, I'm trying to restore a database using RSG. I've configured the RSG (it sits on a clustered drive) and marked the DB to be overwritten by...

Hi There, We've got it sorted. I wonder why no one noticed the ESX and BE versions. Backup Exec did not support ESX 5.1 until BE 2010 r3 SP3 or 2012 SP2. We've installed the recently released SP3 and all works again. Many thanks. Michael.

Dear All, I've been having reoccurring problems when backing up ESX VMs. There are two major errors. One the backup job selection fails with the following error: "Final error: 0xe000959a - An attempt to take a snapshot of a virtual machine failed because it was unable to quiesce an...

Dear All, Sine about two, three weeks, I have been experiencing a weird issue: The scheduled jobs start. but then at random times and random servers they just stop running. Don't fail, don't stop. Just hanging at some source and don't do anything. The only thing I can do is to kill the engine...

Dear All, I’ve been having a weird issue with Backups Exec 2010 R3. When backing up a domain controller I get the following message: Backup V-79-57344-65149 - AOFO: Initialization failure on: "System?State". Advanced Open File Option used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). Snapshot...

ShackDaddy, Definitely from external mailboxes: (gmail). I wasn't much surprised when it worked internally (although I still thought it should have NDR'ed). I'm just not sure if it's a bug, a feature or there is another setting somewhere in our Org overwriting the "default" behavior. Regards...

58sniper, That is exactly what I thought was the case. There's got to be something with this org (I've just inherited it from another admin) that allows all domains to get through. Please let us know if you can find something in you the lab. Here's the setup if it helps: Exchange 2007 SP1 RU6...

ShackDaddy, Nope. No wildcards there. Also (just for the sanity) I used PS to check Accepted Domain list. Only our subdomains are listed. It isn't a massive issue, but I thought I knew Exchange well. It appears I don't. Regards. Michael.

ShackDaddy, Thanks for the reply. However, it gets better: I've realised (tested it) that our Exchange Org will accept emails for any domain! For example if I crate a domain: justanexample.com, create mx record for it and add an email address to my account with this suffix, our Exchange will...

Dear All, I thought I understood the concept of the accepted domains quite well. However, I've just started working for an Org, and I just cannot see the organization’s domain suffix in the accepted domains list. We are still receiving emails though. There are several sub domains of our main...

Zelandakh, That's what I thought. CHeers. Michael.

Hub Transport High Availability across AD sites. Dear All, Just a quick question: I have two Data Centres and want to make our Exchange 2010 fully resilient. One of the questions I have is this: If the Hub Transport Server in the primary DC dies, will the mail be redirected to the Hub...

TechyMcSe2k, Yes. All of our DCs are GCs. Regards.

Dear Techies, I have come across a weird issue. We have an AD 2003 domain spanning several sites. We have sites and services configured with all subnets etc. The issue we have been having is that clients are getting SYSVOL referrals to servers in different AD sites, causing logon performance...

TechyMcSe2k, You are right! It was the replication. I have one DC with 3 hour replication latency (just in case someone does something stupid). I got my sanity back. Cheers. Michael.
