Unable to open vaulted message from Outlook

I have a curious situation.  I have one user who cannot open vaulted messages in her Outlook.  She gets the following pop-up:

"Could not process the selected items.  Reason: A server error has occurred."

"The URL sent to the web server did not contain enough information."

 

There is also a message across the top of the message window in Outlook that reads"

         This item was archived by Enterprise Vault on Tuesday, December 04, 2012 9:59:03 AM.

There was an error loading this item - some functionality may not be available.

 

Some data points:

- User is working from freshly imaged workstation with Windows 7 SP1, Outlook 2010, SEV HTTP-only add-in 9.0.4.R1

- User has apparently never been able to view vaulted messages on this workstation.

- User can access vaulted messages from same workstation via OWA.

- I can log into user's workstation and access my vaulted messages in Outlook 2010.

- User can log into another workstation, creating a new local profile, and get same error in Outlook 2010.

- The SEV Outlook add-in has been removed and re-installed.

- SEV server is 9.0.4.R1

 

  • I would personally suggest contacting Symantec Support and working with them to try to troubleshoot the issue, and/or reproduce it.

  • They are getting a rather generic 'error' when they try to open an item:

    The URL they're hitting is:

    Can you try that in Internet Explorer and report back findings, please?

     

    It is another one of those days when I don't have an EV environment set up..  But I also see failures to connect like this :

  • What happens if they go to :

     

    http://evserver/enterprisevault

     

    ?

     

    Still an error message?

     

    I mean ..  that's gotta be a clue right?  Is that the name of your EV server?  Can it be pinged?

  • This URL - http://evserver/enterprisevault

     

    Does the URL work for you?

    Does the URL work for other people?

     

    What is different about these particular machines? Are they resolving to the correct address? Is there a proxy server configured in Internet Explorer which is forcing HTTP traffic to take a different path to the NSLOOKUP or PING commands?

  • So I would review some of the problem machines - check they haven't configured a proxy, check that they're getting the right IP address back, check that they're pinging the right name, do a network monitor trace when they go to the URL in internet explorer.... etc

  • I had three other people try the same url and it works for them.  There is no proxy. 

    I can find no occurrence of this one user's logon name in the IIS logs in C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1 for my EV server.  That makes sense actually, since she's getting an error on her end. 

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters]

    "MaxFieldLength"=dword:00010000

    "MaxRequestBytes"=dword:00010000

     

    I did an iisreset on my EV server after adding these two keys.  We've had a MaxTokenSize key set for workstations for quite a while to deal w/ the large group membership issue.  But in the end this has not worked.  I'm wondering if I need to restart all EV services or bounce the server itself?

     

  • This isn't a computer problem.  I've had the user log into multiple computers that I'm able to open vaulted messages on, and she's not able to.  I believe her kerberos token is too large and it's creating a problem when she tries to retrieve a message from EV.  That's why we tried the registry edit I mentioned (but didn't explain) above.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters]
    
    "MaxFieldLength"=dword:00010000
    
    "MaxRequestBytes"=dword:00010000

    Unfortunately, this didn't make a difference.  I've done an iisreset, as well as restarted all the EV services.  It doesn't seem to help.

    Does anyone know enough about kerberos that may know what to do if a user with a large kerberos token tries to access items in EV?
