Hello.
We are trying to backup an Exchange server on a non-trusted domain connected to our network that has the same name as an Exchange server on the domain our backup server is installed on. We backup the local Exchange server with no problems.
Using User-Defined Selections I have specified the IP address of the target Exchange server but when I connect, using an administrator account for that server, I cannot see the Exchange selections, only local drives and shares.
If I create a Hosts entry, and then a user-defined selection for the servers name I am able to see the Exchange selections. However, Backup Exec won't recognize the Exchange server on our local domain. Fair enough.
Then I tried using a FQDN for the Exchange server in user-defined selection after changing the Hosts entry. I can connect and see the local drives and some Exchange selections but they are grayed out and can't be selected. I get the message "selection of this item is disabled. You are not authorized to access this item, a license key for Backup Exec Remote Agent for Windows Servers is not installed on the machine, or the Remote Agent is old or incompatible."
I've searched online and through this forum and can only find examples of something similar happening in v9.0 and the patch that fixes it. We are using Backup Exec v9.1 with SP4a.
Our OS is W2K3. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Many thanks.
