In the 5.5 Admin console, expand Folders, System Folders, and Events Root. There should be a folder in there called EventConfig_servername for the server that the mailbox resides on. Open the Properties of that folder and on the General Tab click the Client Permissions button. Add the mailbox and give it Owner rights. So again, ensure the autoaccept script is uninstalled, do the above steps, reinstall the autoaccept script, and ;-) it's supposed to work. -Original Message- From: Mitchell Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 2:53 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working What did you mean by the mailbox needs owner rights?

RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working
Hello All, First, wanted to say that you guys have always been a great help in the past. I have a simple, but probably dumb question. I need some ammo though before I get back to one of my employees about what he's doing. Can someone just verify what I'm saying... It is not possible to back-up the PRIV.EDB files on Exchange 5.5 unless you stop the Exchange services right? One of my guys is trying to run a veritas backup that includes the PRIV.EDB file, and the file is skipped during the back-up operation. I advised him as to why it does this, and how to correctly do it. He still swears that it's veritas software screwing up... Any help would be great, Thanks Paul -Original Message- From: Sargent, Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 1:53 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working (FYI the mailbox needs Owner rights.)

RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working
It is quite possible to do a backup of Exchange 5.5 WITHOUT stopping the services. You either use NTBackup, or use a 3rd party backup utility with an Exchange Agent. If you decide to not use either of those 2 methods, you sure as heck better stop the Exchange services first, otherwise you will be attempting to back up an open database file as a flat file.

If you want to back up that *file*, then yes you would have to close whatever software is keeping the file open. If you want to back up Exchange, however, use an Exchange-aware backup solution like NTBACKUP and the services remain running and functional during the backup. -Original Message- From: Paul kondilys [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2003 12:16 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working Well, actually we are running veritas with the exchange agent, only thing is that the PRIV.EDB file is skipped.

No, you don't have to stop the services. Please clarify how you are using veritas; i.e. are you looking on the relevant drive and ticking priv.edb as a file to backup? If so, this won't work, you need to tick 'Microsoft Exchange Information Store' in the veritas directory tree.

If you are using the Exchange aware agent you wouldn't be aware that it was backing up the priv.edb, pub.edb or even dir.edb, you would just select Exchange Information Store and Exchange Directory store.

The Exchange Agent backs up the Information Store. You should be backing that up. It's a separate object. And you should be excluding the C:\Exchsrvr\*data (note wildcard) directories from your file backup.

RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working
You aren't doing the backup correct then. You do NOT want to select the File from the backup job. In Backup Exec, when you browse your list of servers selections in the backup job, under your Exchange server, you will see the hard disks and also there should be an added entry for Microsoft Exchange or something to that effect. Actually, there will be 2 entries - one for the Mailboxes as well - don't select the Mailboxes, just select the Information Store. That will perform an Online backup of the Exchange databases and it will also purge your committed log files after a successful backup. If you still aren't sure how to do an Online backup, then go to the Veritas web site and go to their support center. Type Exchange Online backup, or similar, and it should give you detailed instructions on how to do that for your version.

RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working
You cannot backup up the actual priv.edb file unless the services are stopped. Period. As explained before, it is because the database is an open file. Since it is open and in use, it cannot be locked by the backup program, therefore, it is skipped. Unless there is some immense value in accessing the priv.edb with your 3rd party software, I would not do it. Exchange has utilities that come with it for extracting mailboxes (Exmerge) and it can also extract messages based on subject. If you absolutely have to use your 3rd party program, then you will likely have to schedule a 2nd backup job that only backs up the priv.edb and make sure that you stop the Exchange services before the backup job.

RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working
Right in that case the latest version of PowerTools is able to read the backup tape and get the priv.edb file directly from the Online Backup. Note I wrote online backup not offline backup. I don't know how this works as well use Netbackup but that is the way it is supposed to work, if not then call Ontrack support. You are never going to be able to backup the priv.edb unless you stop the information store which is not a good idea. If it can't read the tape directly then you would need to do an online restore to a separate server where the priv.edb will be located and you can then use PowerTools to access it. We have evaluated PowerTools and were not overly impressed it couldn't read priv.edb files if the database had been under load and created lots of transaction logs. I believe a newer version currently in beta and to be released in September may work better.

Better to restore the Exchange Information Store to your recovery server from your Exchange-aware backup, and run the utility there.

RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working
It would be nice but don't cross your fingers. The current version of PowerTools has limited use, if you can successfully restore the Exchange server from an online backup and it is consistent then you can mount it and just go into the database with Outlook or Exmerge. The reason to use PowerTools would be if you had a corrupt database and just want to get out of it as much information as you can. This is how the product is sort of marketed but in the real world it is not able to do that. Maybe the next version will do a better job but we'll have to wait and see. To go back to your original question, don't bother trying to backup the edb files for this app it is just not worth it. Follow the advice of wise old Ed C and be happy with online restores.

RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working
It's kinda cool actually. Could use some more work and they do have a new version coming out soon. The utility is installed onto the server/WS that has the tape drives mounted. You then mount your Exchange backup tape that has the IS on it. The tool scans the tape, finds the IS, and tells you what files are in the IS. You then choose the file you want for example the PRIV.EDB, and then select where to dump it or copy it. After you're done copying the PRIV.EDB you use the utility to open the PRIV.EDB and it shows all the mailboxes and their messages. You can then select which mailbox or message you want to recover, and then dump it into a .pst or directly into the user's mailbox. The thing that sucks about the utility is that it would have been greater if you could just scan the tape, find the IS, then the PRIV.EDB, and then access it directly from the tape instead of copying it somewhere. When you're in my type of environment where my IS alone is over 100 GB's it would be easier..

RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working
(FYI the mailbox needs Owner rights.) So if the EventConfig permissions are set, reinstall the AutoAccept script on the mailbox and you should be able to test it immediately. If that doesn't work, try stopping and starting the Event service again and retest. -Original Message- From: Mitchell Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 1:42 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working Rob, I found it and set the permissions.

RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working
(If we have the same setup).. In the 5.5 Admin console, expand Folders, System Folders, and Events Root. There should be a folder in there called EventConfig_servername for the server that the mailbox resides on. Open the Properties of that folder and on the General Tab click the Client Permissions button. Add the mailbox and give it Owner rights. So again, ensure the autoaccept script is uninstalled, do the above steps, reinstall the autoaccept script, and ;-) it's supposed to work. -Original Message- From: Mitchell Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 2:53 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working What did you mean by the mailbox needs owner rights?

RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working
What did you do to get it working? -Original Message- From: Mitchell Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 3:52 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working Rob and Ed, Success at last... I did finally get this resource to work properly. It was just a lot of pulling and tugging and getting it all correct. I will move the others and see how it goes. Thanks again for all of your help.

In the 5.5 Admin console, expand Folders, System Folders, and Events Root. There should be a folder in there called EventConfig_servername for the server that the mailbox resides on. Open the Properties of that folder and on the General Tab click the Client Permissions button. Add the mailbox and give it Owner rights. So again, ensure the autoaccept script is uninstalled, do the above steps, reinstall the autoaccept script, and ;-) it's supposed to work. -Original Message- From: Mitchell Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 2:53 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working What did you mean by the mailbox needs owner rights? I did as you suggested, but it still didn't work. I created a new resource and scheduled them both at the same time. The new resource worked, but the old one didn't. Wow.. This is confusing!! Sorry. -Original Message- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 1:07 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working Right. I was going to recommend being sure to uninstall the old event script first as well.

So if the EventConfig permissions are set, reinstall the AutoAccept script on the mailbox and you should be able to test it immediately. If that doesn't work, try stopping and starting the Event service again and retest. -Original Message- From: Mitchell Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 1:42 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working Rob, I found it and set the permissions.

Where do I look for the EventConfig folder? Sorry. Mike -Original Message- From: Sargent, Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 12:26 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working Hi Mike. Have you set up the client permissions for the mailbox in the EventConfig folder? I've forgotten to do that on occasion.And I think I learned the hard way that if this step was missed, you need to uninstall the Autoaccept script again, set up the EventConfig settings, then reinstall the script. Rob Sargent -Original Message- From: Mitchell Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 12:57 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working Ed, Thanks. I thought that was the case, so I deleted the AutoAccept folder on the resource. I then ran the AutoAccept utility script on that new resource. I checked the event Service and it was running. Nothing happened. I then stopped and started the service again. To no avail. Nothing happens. Help Thanks...

RE: Auto Accept Utility stopped working
A script does not move with a mailbox. You must reinstall the script on the new server and ensure that the Event Service is running.
