RE: Restore Storage Group Error
There is NO current RSG. Sorry I didn’t specify, but I was in a hurry to attend a meeting with AVAMAR about this problem. They will be flying in an Exchange/AVAMAR expert, but I need to be able to create RSG’s now to do any restores the old fashioned way. Full story now that I have time: Created a test storage group. Populated said storage group with test user email accounts. Populated each account with 50 emails. Created RSG. Did a Backup of RSG with AVAMAR. Tried to do a restore of the RSG from AVAMAR, restore failed and the RSG dismounted. Tried to remount the RSG and got this in Database Recover Manager: Error encountered while trying to mount the database (SG98) in the recovery storage group (Recovery Storage Group). Error message is: Exchange is unable to mount the database that you specified. Specified database: SERVER\Recovery Storage Group\SG98; Error code: MapiExceptionCallFailed: Unable to mount database. (hr=0x80004005, ec=-2147467259) From powershell ran get-storagegroupcopystatus, and the RSG says NotSupported Got the error listed below in the App log of Event Viewer. Removed the RSG, and closed Database Recovery Management. Running get-storagegroupcopystatus shows NO RSG. Looking in ADSIEdit shows NO RSG. Looking in the EMC shows NO RSG. Reopened the backup tool and created a new RSG. Tried to mount RSG, got same error messages. Removed RSG. Created a NEW test storage group. Moved test mailboxes to new storage group. Created new RSG. Tried to mount RSG, again got the same error messages. For some reason, somewhere, Exchange thinks there is still a Recovery Storage group. We have been trying to get AVAMAR to work on Exchange for 5 weeks now. Every time we do a restore following their procedure it fails and causes either a RSG or a test SG to dismount. But now I can’t do a RSG for a restore from NT Backup because I can’t mount an RSG. And sadly, as much as I think a reboot would clear this up, it’s a last resort.

RE: email encryption
Well for Zix, encrypted messages would never hit your Exchange environment. Messages sent internal to your Exchange organization don't use a smart host (think I mentioned this), so they would never be encrypted. If you send a message out and it gets encrypted, the end user simply gets a notification to go to a secure portal (if they aren't a customer). If they are a customer, the message goes to get decrypted first, then over a TLS channel goes to the mail server (unencrypted). One common question we have had is about spam filtering or similar - since you are correct, these messages can't be scanned, they don't go there. Technically speaking it could go there, have nothing happen to it, then route to get decrypted, then travel over TLS back to the mail server but that is an extra, unnecessary hop. As a result, we set things up so it doesn't go through any hygiene. We have not yet run into any spam problems with encrypted traffic.

Along the same lines but slightly different... sometimes managers or an auditor

Get-Mailbox -Server SERVER_NAME | Get-MailboxPermission | where {

RE: Restore Storage Group Error
We just did that to test the backup software. No other reason. Last week we tried to do the backup of the test SG and IT dismounted; we couldn’t remount it.

Removed the RSG, and closed Database Recovery Management. Running get-storagegroupcopystatus shows NO RSG. Looking in ADSIEdit shows NO RSG. Looking in the EMC shows NO RSG. Reopened the backup tool and created a new RSG. Tried to mount RSG, got same error messages. Removed RSG. Created a NEW test storage group. Moved test mailboxes to new storage group. Created new RSG.
Re: Restore Storage Group Error
I see. I didn't realize the RSG could be treated the same as an ordinary SG. I thought it was primarily meant as a restore target. I guess if you had the same problem with a test SG, there's an underlying issue somewhere. Have you had a look at this? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925825 On Fri, Apr 9, 2010 at 10:53 AM, Brown, Larry larry.br...@dplinc.comwrote: We just did that to test the backup software.
