Exchange 2003 on w2K3 (64 bit)

Enterprise Vault 8 on w2k3 (32 bit)

 

About:

Installation of the Vault Extensions for OWA2003.

 

When I installed the Vault Extensions for OWA2003 on the exchange server this error came up when trying to configure the public folders.

 

10/01/2013 10:11:05 : Debug   : ConfigureSchema                      : Creating ADODB Connection...

10/01/2013 10:11:05 : Error   : ConfigureSchema                      : ADO connection error: -2146105340

10/01/2013 10:11:05 : Error   : ConfigureSchema                      : Failed to make ADO connection to: http://EXCHANGESERVER/exadmin/admin/MYDOMAIN.LOCAL/Public%20Folders/%23%23SchemaURI%23%23/

10/01/2013 10:11:05 : Error   : ConfigureSchema                      : If you do not intend to archive from public folders, you may ignore this error.

10/01/2013 10:11:05 : Error   : ConfigureSchema                      : Otherwise see Technote 281092 (http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/281092.htm)

 

You can open the archived mails in public folders and the link to the original mail works, but there are no buttons to retrieve or archive an item in a public folder.

I tried the solution in the technote, but this did still gives the ado connection error.

On the Symantec Support site and in the Symantec forums, I found this solution.

C:\Program Files\Enterprise Vault\OWA>cscript.exe BackEnd2003Setup.wsf /formregdomain:<mysmtpdomain.tld>

This ran fine, but the effect was less.

You couldn’t retrieve the original of the archived mail in public folders anymore.

This error was shown in a webpage when trying to open the archived mail

Reason: Unable to determine a web app url for vault access

Luckily, the archived mails in the users mailbox were still ok.

 

Any suggestions?

You won't get archive or restore options for public folders. In OWA those actions are only available in a mailbox. If you can open the archived item from the shortcut, then you are done and the registration error can be ignored.
