Exchange 2007 rbu account authentication failure


Recommended Posts

Hi:

 

I'm trying to backup exchange 2007 mailboxes. When I try to "login as" the rbu account, I get an authentication failed error. The rbu account is member of 'backup operators, domain admins and domain users' and I've sent an email to initialize its mailbox. I can login to a test system as rbu and open outlook to check the test email I sent to the rbu account to initialize the mailbox. I don't see an MAPI/authentication errors on the exchange server. I have recreated the rbu account to make sure my login/pwd are correct. I would really appreciate any help on getting this going. I get the following errors in the operations_log.utx file

 

OS: Windows Server 2003 SP2

Retrospect 7.6.111

 

T-2: TMapiManager::Reinitialize: Creating new MAPI session.

T-2: TWDBExchangeServer2007::LoadBridge loaded ex2k7bridge.dll

[color:red]edit[/color]: I just saw an assert_log error:

 

Error info: Assertion failure at "module.cpp-561", ModuleData::send('StCh'), parent != 0

Exception code: e0000000 ASSERTION

 

Maybe this has something to do with my authentication failure.

 

Thank you

Hi:

 

Thanks for that URL. I went ahead and gave the retrospect backup user "send-as" and "receive-as" rights on the entire mailbox database. I still get the "authentication failed" error. However the long list of errors has gone down a bit and now I see this in my operation log:

 

T-2: TMapiManager::Reinitialize: Creating new MAPI session.

T-2: TWDBExchangeServer2007::LoadBridge loaded ex2k7bridge.dll

T-2: TMapiConnection::InitializeMailboxes: ExGetDistinguishedName failed.

T-2: TMapiManager::Reinitialize: couldn't intialize mailboxes due to a prior error.

 

Could you tell me what exact permissions you added with the Add-ADPermissions cmdlet?

 

This is what I ran on the powershell:

 

add-adpermission -id "Mailbox Database" -user \rbu -extendedrights "send-as"

 

add-adpermission -id "Mailbox Database" -user \rbu -extendedrights "receive-as"

 

Thanks for all your help

I get the same exact answer as I did for Get-MailboxDatabase which is in my previous response above.

 

fyi: I'll be on vacation for 10 days starting July 25 and with little or no internet access, my responses will be slow to come.

 

Thanks

I am also having this problem, so far I have ignored it because I am not doing individual mailbox backups, just the entire storage groups.

 

In case it helps I've attached a screenshot of the commands you requested.

 

Retrospect Multi Server 7.6.111, driver update and hotfix package 7.6.1.101.

Hooray! It would appear the latest update released by EMC Retrospect has fixed whatever issue was causing Retrospect to be unable to login to the Exchange Server 2007 and therefore not be able to enumerate the individual mailboxes. I can now view every little item in each box. This is the second-to-last hurdle before I move everyone in our organization over to our new ES2007 server!

 

Thanks Retrospect Team!
