This morning I got the following error while trying to backup the Information Store and the Exchange Directory.
Unable to attach to \\JSE08\Microsoft Exchange Directory.
The device cannot be found.

We are running Backup Exec 8.6. I have been backing them up for over a year and a half and have never had a problem until today. The only thing that has changed is we did a few updates over the weekend. We installed MS03-46, MS01-047 and also changed the Restrict Anonymous setting from 0 to 1. After this we rebooted the exchange server. In the event log on the server we have the following messages:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSExchangeDS
Event Category: Security
Event ID: 1333
Date: 2/28/2004
Time: 8:39:03 PM
User: N/A
Computer: JSE08
Description:
The Microsoft Exchange Directory service could not log on to the Anonymous account. All anonymous LDAP and MAPI search requests will be denied. Verify that the anonymous account password is valid in the DS Site Configuration properties page.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
We don't allow any type of anonymous access so what account should be setup in the DS Site Configuration. I think it has to do with changing the allow anonymous access from 0 to 1 that started the problem but before I change it back, I want to be sure that's what's causing the problem. I have tried changing the exchange anonymous account to the domain administrator account to see if it was a permission problem but I am still getting the error.
Thanks
