EV - Exchange Task Target Missing Databases
- 10 years ago
Alright, looks like I misunderstood something in the process.
1. A database will only show up in the 'target' tab of the Exchange Mailbox Task if there is a Mailbox Enabled for Archiving located in this database. What I didn't realise is that running the Exchange Mailbox Task manually doesn't enable a mailbox for archiving, it only does that once it runs via it's schedule.
2. If a database is removed (or renamed) from Exchange and there used to be an Archive Enabled user in that database, it will not be removed from the 'target' tab of the task. This is a known issue apparently and Symantec are working on it, as I just found out from their support team. We could remove the entry from SQL directly but as they're not 100% sure of the outcome I decided to leave it.
Thanks for the help everyone!
