Unique Exchange Mailbox Name

[MBlank]

I am running Backup Exec 8.6 and trying to backup Exchange 5.5, everytime I go to click on the microsoft exchange mailboxes it asks me for "please enter the unique exchange mailbox name that belongs to the backup exec services account"

I have created a specific user with the proper permissions (administrators and Domain Admins) and have entered that name into the blank spot, and it just keeps asking me over and over.

The account you created, is it the 'backup exec services account'? If not, then you are providing the wrong information. You need the account name the be service is running under.

I did not see a "backup exec services account" where do I find it, or what should it be called?

Hi MBlank,

Follow this list to correctly setup Exchange Backup.

A) On Exchange server

1) Create one new Mailbox enabled user ( bkadmin )

2) Add "bkadmin" to Domain Admin & Local Administrator groups

3) Start Exchange Administrator utility and grant bkadmin user permissions on site object (Admin Role)

B ) (On Media Server)

1) Log on using bkadmin to exchange domain

2) Configure Outlook profile using Exchange service

3) Send Mail to some different user

4) From Exchange server, copy EDBBCLI.DLL file to \winnt\system32 (to the Backup Exec server)

(it is very essential that EDBBCLI.DLL file to be exactly the same version
on both the Exchange server and the BackupExec server)

5) Copy MAPI32.DLL from Program Files\common files\system\mapi\1033\nt to Veritas\Backup Exec\ NT

6) Stop all the Backup Exec services

7) Rename the bewinui.uni file to bewinui.old ( Path= Program files\Veritas\Backup Exec\NT\DATA )

8) Restart all the backup exec service

9) Start Backup Exec and select the mailboxes and provide connect info as bkadmin

10) Confirm that Exchange Administrator utility is installed and connecting to exchange server

Also make sure that you are running the most current Build which is Build 3878.
