DMP Server SBS woes
I have been working with PSS on an issue where I was not able to install the DPM agent onto my SBS server. As per their recommendations/best practices I installed a 64 Bit version of DPM onto a 64bit W2k8 server. When I try to configure the protection group to backup exchange it throws and error indicating that to run the Esutil consistency check on the DMP server I need to have 64bit verisons of Ese.dll and Eseutil.exe. My SBS 2003 server is 32 bit and their are obviously no 64bit versions of these to files. I would also assume that with all the patches/service pack that the versions are newer than what would be found on a 64bit base configuration. I am getting somewhat of the runaround regarding how to get the correct files so I can run the Esutil consitancy check. Any one else using DPM server to backup exchange and had to deal with this or how I might get the correct 64bit files to install on the DPM Server Thanks in advance -Dave Vantine

Since you are running DPM on Svr 2008, you must use the Exchange 2007 management tools. Have you tried using the x64 Exchange 2007 SP1 versions of eseutil.exe and ese.dll?

It' weird how things work. I'm trying the opposite process. Backing up Exchange Server 2007 with 32 bit DPM and I'm trying to get the 32 bit eseutil.exe and ese.dll files to do the same thing.

Re: DMP Server SBS woes
Thanks You are spot on! I contacted PSS again and they provided me a link to get the 2007 files. I was told that the 2007 files are backward compatible with 2003 so I just needed to make sure that the files I am using are in sync with the DPM server and greater than than those being used on the SBS server.
