The situation has been resolved. The right files were located and copied to the DPM.
Based on my experience this is the case: 1.) U need the version of eseutil.exe and ese.dll that matches the OS of your DPM server so if you are running the 64bit DPM server you can simply use the files off of the Exchange Server. 2.) If u are running the 32bit DPM Server u need the 32 bit files and u can copy them to bin directory on the DPM server.

It works well but is has a many gotcha's as a minefield From: Glen Johnson [mailto:gjohn...@vhcc.edu] Sent: 03 September 2009 16:11 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: DPS server Ah ha. What I read said to copy those two files from the exchange server to the dpm server. No qualifications about 32 or 64 bit either way. Typical MS documentation, give you just enough info to be confusing and not work. BTW did I read that you have to use the 64 bit DPM to backup HyperV. Maybe you need 64bit DPM to backup 64 bit exchange. Rant mode on. This dpm project has been one of the most frustrating projects I've tackled in quite a long time. A brand new product and they don't support backing up to removable disks. Rant mode off.

Well u need to download the 32 bit management tools at 600mb or so and then 32 bit sp1 at 800 or so. U can't simply get the 2 files and my bandwidth ain't great!!

One you get those, and according to the DPM docs, it says they have to be from your exchanges server, I'd be curious to see if they run. There's another thread on here and I'm seeing the same thing. 32 bit exchange, 64 bit DPM and eseutil wont run.

I do remember something, maybe HyperV hosts need it.

From: Peter Johnson [mailto:peter.john...@peterstow.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2009 1:28 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: DPS server Hi Guys I'm trying to backup an Exchange server 2007 SP1 box using DPM SP1. I've got the agent installed on the server but when I select the server in the DPM console I only get all shares and all volumes. I don't get the Storage Group or sthe system state. The OS on the Exchange Server is Server 2008 Standard Edition. Anyone got any ideas? Regards Peter Johnson
