How to identify invalid shortcuts

[EVRocks]

Recentley we imported some NSF and PST files for some users who joined our company. Now I am seeing DCOM errors on the EV server which compain about these computers it shows unable to communicate with the original archive server obviosuly these servers does not exists in our environment.

What would be the best way to :

identify these users

find these in vaild shortcuts

so that I can remove them and then re-import the NSF/PST files. I am trying to avoid visitin gthese users and manually searching for these shortcuts.

thank you.

Hello EVRocks,

Orphan Shorcuts might help removing these shortcuts but you should test it with a mailbox and see its behavior. If you run the archiving task with shortcut processing in report mode, you can run a dtrace to track the invalid shortcuts.

I hope this helps.

just to clarify, did you import the data into the mailboxes or into EV? if into the mailboxes, maybe consider importing into EV next time?

Hi GabeV,

Sorry guys for not responsing earlier.

Which trace I need to enable in dtrace for this purpose. Please not the orphan shortcuts could be either in mailbox or FSA.

PSTs were imported directly into EV.

thank you.

Do you think, then, that the PST files have shortcuts in them? From a different EV environment?

Hi EVRocks,

If you collect a dtrace with the ArchiveTask process enabled, you should see the EV shortcuts being processed.
