This is a massive issue! Recently when trying to recover an archived mailbox, I was shocked to find only 32 mailboxes (out of over 100) available to restore. After some research I found it’s a known issue with Backup Exec and installing SP2 should resolve the issue. It did resolve the issue – well, sort of.

The problem is, it doesn’t fix the problem retroactively! That means any of your old backup tapes that were used prior to SP2 have unrecoverable mailboxes. To access the hidden mailboxes there is a work around (no fix though), and if you often need to recover archives your not going to be happy.

In order to restore these mailboxes you need to duplicate the backup tape to disk. Once you’ve duplicated the information store/s to a Backup-To-Disk folder you then need to re-catalog the image. You will then see all of your backed up mailboxes.

I doubt Symantec will fix this problem, as SP2 was released June 09 and they are not-surprisingly silent about the issue.

Symantec Backup Exec 12.5 SP2 can be download from http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/323735.htm

How good is this?

This error is caused by the Outlook 2007 Cached Exchange mode setting “Download shared folders (excludes mail folders) being enabled by default. You can untick this box manually on each client (Tools > Account Settings > Change > More Settings > Advanced) or you can disable this setting domain wide via the Outlk12.adm Group Policy admin feature set.

Microsoft’s step-by-step instructions can be found here - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179175.aspx#BKMK_ConfigureUsingGroupPolicy

Basically, you need to DISABLE the “Synchronizing data in shared folders” option and apply the GPO to the users in your domain.

After some digging around with my Firefox profile, and manually removing lines from the prefs.js (I know, you should use the About:Config to make these sorts of changes), I found the offending line:

user_pref(“general.useragent.override”, “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)”);

Removing this line from the prefs.js file fixed the issue.
