That did the trick Del! Thank you. It's strange though because I have 2 other Exchange servers that the scheduler for the Exchange backup is using the system account and they work. Thanks again, Mark

What userid do you have the scheduler service running under? Is it the same userid that you successfully ran the GUI? If not, try changing the scheduler service to run as a userid that has enough permission. That way, when it launches Data Protection for Exchange, it will be running under the context of that userid.
