Hello,
Please verify if Backup Exec Service Account has been assigned the following rights:
- Authenticate as any user and gain access to resources under any user identity.
- Create a token object, which can then be used to access any local resources.
- Log on as a service.
- Administrative rights (provides complete and unrestricted rights to the computer).
- Backup operator rights (provides rights to restore files and directories).
- Manage auditing and security log.
Also verify if the logon account has the same rights.
- Confirm that the Backup Exec Service Account has "Service Account Admin" rights to the Exchange site.
- Ensure the mailbox is not hidden - The mailbox must be seen in the GAL (Global Address List). This can be tested by composing a new mail message in outlook and clicking the 'To:' field. Should you not see the display name in this list it is hidden.
- The Backup Exec service account's mailbox must be unique to the organization. No other mailbox can share the first 5 characters in common with this mailbox in the entire organization. This can be tested by composing a new mail message and then in 'To:' field type the first 5 characters of the mailbox display name, then press , this should resolve the name, if a menu pops up, then there are multiple accounts which share these first 5 characters. The matching names should be changed or the BESA mailbox name should be changed to something unique.
- The Backup Exec service account must have its own mailbox that has been tested with Outlook prior to configuring mailbox backups. If the mailbox has not had mail traffic, it can be flagged as "Inactive" by Exchange. This can be corrected by simply sending this account mail.
- When configuring mailbox backups, always log on as the Backup Exec service account.
- Some security rights can be tested with Outlook by going to File | Open | Other User's Folder and selecting another user's Inbox An error message indicates that security is not properly configured, and Backup Exec will not be able to backup the mailboxes.
- Stop and re-start the Backup Exec services after making any of the above changes.
