Greetings all,
I'm having trouble running EVPM.
I get the following output:
Error parsing command file: F:\zap.ini, error follows:
Line number in error: 2
Section in error: Directory
Attribute in error:
DirectoryComputerName
Value in error: hbsevarch.mydomain.com
Error parsing the config (.ini) file
My zap.ini file looks like this:
[Directory]
DirectoryComputerName=hbsevarch.mydomain.com
Sitename=evault1
[Mailbox]
DistinguishedName = /o=redacted/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=1a662457e14345e8a4e2fdabad35e8e8-Redacted Name
[Folder]
Name = Mailboxroot
Zap = True
What am I doing wrong?
Solved! Go to Solution.

You all set me on the right path. It wasn't spaces, it was line returns.
I opened my zap file in NotePad++ (instead of Notepad) and saw that there was an extra line return. I removed the extra line return and it stopped complaining about the Directory name.

Hi,
are you using the alias or the hostname of the ev-server for DirectoryComputerName? Have you tried both?
File is saved as Unicode? Which version of EV are you using?
You could create a dtrace of the evpm process and share an abstract from it with us.
Regards

Hello,
I had this years ago, and it puzzled me to madness.
Eventually, I found (and I do not recall exact, but it was one of the two) that the DirectoryServer has a space behind the name in DNS or in the Directory database (not sure anymore which one).

seems right. for some reason "hbsevarch.mydomain.com" has a space before its name (it has 4 instead of 3 spaces, compare it to the other ones)

It's telling you that the problem is with parsing the value "hbsevarch.mydomain.com" as a DirectoryComputerName. I know you want to keep the information redacted, but are there any unusual characters or patterns in your domain name? Also, like @Marcde suggested, a dtrace of EVPM ought to make things clearer.

This should not be an issue at all. However glad to hear you got it sorted out.
