Backup Central

All of a sudden our parent company has sprung an upgrade from MS Exchange 2007 to MS Exchange 2010 on us and now I'm scrambling to get the backup going from it. I have downloaded the special executable for Exchange 2010 on Windows 2008 R2 and initiated the process of changing our NME license to and NMM license but I have some questions.

First, do I need to install the NMM software as well as the special executable on the Exchange Server?

Second, our Exchange Server consists of two systems configured as one Data Access Group. Can I just set up a client with the DAG name or do I have to do something else? If I can use the DAG name do I have to get them to add that to the DNS system or how does that work.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, Dave

Dave,

We are in the process of converting right now (from Exchange2003), so we
are not yet live on Exchange 2010.

In our case, we are using our existing NME licenses, even though we have
started using NMM on one of our clients. This is allowed. We have not
gone live using DAG, so I can't answer that.

I did not install the special executable, I downloaded the latest NMM.
We did have some problems, and still have an open ticket, but backups
and restores are now working. For the longest time we could backup
without issue, but couldn't restore. An engineering fix resolved that
issue.

Our one other issue that we had with NMM and Exchange 2010 was the use
of FQDN vs short names. We use shortnames 99% of the time, but
NMM/Exchange 2010 would not allow us to use short names, only FQDN.

Good luck.

Our issue is the groups with assigned roles required in the
Installation Guide (Database Availability Groups, Database Copies, and
Databases) for the NMM user account are not enough in our environment,
while Domain Administrator works just fine. Our testing environment
is a brand new domain set up just for test purposes and we aren't
aware of any explicit denies. Support was great at troubleshooting the
issue as a permissions issue but when we ask for something seemingly
simple like a list of required effective permissions, not so much.
"Just run it as Domain Administrator...."

We all have that issue, and EMC has stated that it will be fixed in the
new version of NMM.

I wish they would publish a release date for it.

Hello,

I've seen the issues where the mailbox server needs administrator privileges to the NetWorker server, but it is also documented that the account used by NMM be a Domain Administrator?

Thanks,
Eugene

Just thought I'd ping the list one more time. Support suggests that
if we want to avoid running our NMM user as a member of domain
administrators, we should make them a member of Organization
Management and nest Org Mgmt inside Domain Administrators... :S
