EVPM and Directory Error

TJensen

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?

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.

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.
