I have a user who's Calendar items have disappeared. New meetings and appointments show up fine, and the calander directory of her mailbox has quite a few items, but they won't display.
Any ideas of how to link these back together?
 
Are you scanning the M drive with File Level AV? Dan

Yes, but nothing is showing in the scan logs regarding any viruses found in the user's mailbox.
I restored from tape backup, all past events were restored, but future events are not showing. Any ideas?
 
Yeah stop doing that :)

It is what causes this.

Get an Exchange Aware AV. Dan

Which, the virus scan, or the tape restore? I'm using Norton AV for Exchange which didn't detect anything either.
 
If you scan the M drive it does cause problems with the calanders and also if you scan the mdbdata directory and the virus scanner detects a virus it can remove the whole of your exchange setup.

I would sugesst that you just leave Norton for exchange to scan exchange and stop realtime protection or scheduled scan from scanning the M drive and the mdbdata directory.

Eventhough the virus scanner does not find a problem it does still cause entries to dissapear. I have had this problem before. Also you might find that some logs will not be commited to the database.

I hope this helps.
 
I have this problem NAV was run on the server with no exclusions and several calendar entries went away. I havce a full backup from before the virus scan. What do I need to restore to get the public folders calendar back they way it was?
 
Restore with no logs in the mdbdata folder. Dan
