Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects (MAPI/CDO) needs to be updated to support backup of Exchange 2007 with Backup Exec 11.0 for Windows Servers build 7170 and above
Details:
Backup Exec 11.0 for Windows Servers build 7170 is
dependent on MAPI/CDO to backup Exchange 2007. The early releases of MAPI/CDO
did not contain all functionality necessary by Backup Exec to perform a backup.
The version of MAPI/CDO required is Microsoft Exchange
Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects 6.05.7888 or greater and can
be downloaded from Microsoft per the following link:
Microsoft
Exchange Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects 1.2.1
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E17E7F31-079A-43A9-BFF2-0A110307611E&displaylang=en
Once the updated package has been downloaded the current
installation of MAPI/CDO will need to be uninstalled and then the new version
installed.
The new version of MAPI/CDO will
not properly
upgrade the prior version.
Attempts to upgrade the prior version of
MAPI/CDO will report as successful but the installed components will not be
updated. The older version of MAPI/CDO will have to be uninstalled
and the new version installed.
Note: A reboot of the server may
be required, after removing or updating any server
application.
