This error has been occuring for the last sever backup cycles of our Exchange 2003 server. As far as I know, no security changes to the Administrators account or the Exchange storage have been made.

Hello,

Please refer to the following

GENERAL CHECK LIST FOR BACKING UP EXCHANGE SERVER:(This is applicable when you are getting access deinied error).
Please make sure following:

First of all make sure you have given following rights to the backup exec service account.
1) Domain admin
2) Exchange full admin
3) Local admin of the remote exchange machine.
Most of the time account does not have "Domain admin" and "Exchange FUll admin" rights.
4) Most Important: Make sure the Backupexec service account has a unique mailbox (Ex-"admin" and "administrator" is not unique because they contain the same subset of characters).

If not please create it and activate the mailbox by sending atleast one mail.You can even check in the system manager if the mailbox is listed there or not?
If this does not help,Proceed further.

Is the mailbox hidden in the exchange address list.
If yes, then please Unhide the mailbox from Exchange Address lists. (From the active-directory--right click the user--properties---click exchange advanced---uncheck the box.

If nothing helps, Create a new user in the A/D and give it all the rights (Local/domain/exchange full) admin rights and try to attach with this account.
