Exchange agent has Error: a000fe09

[Erik_True]

Running Exchange agent 9.0 rev 4454
Running on a 2003 Exchange 2003 server.

I can back up the information store.
When I try to back up specific mailboxes, I receive the following
Error Category: Resource Errors
Error code: a000fe09
Error Description: The directory is invalid.

Any suggestion?

Hi,

Please refer to the following documents:


"The directory is invalid" (a000fe09 HEX or e000fe09 HEX) is reported when a backup job fails

http://support.veritas.com/docs/266179

A backup operation fails with the error message: "Directory not found. Can not back up directory <\directory> and its subdirectories" or "The directory is invalid."

Erik,

What happens is that if you make any changes to the mailbox backups within the GUI, such as unchecking a deactivated user, a lot of text entries are made. If a mailbox is later deleted from AD, the text entry will still be there. Hope this helps you understand how it happened.
