I have DPM2007 running on Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise (64-bit). I am trying
to protect an Exchange 2003 SP2 server (32-bit). Which version of the
ESE.DLL and ESEUTIL.EXE files do I need and where can I get them from? I
keep getting inconsinstency erors and loads of ESE errors using the 32-bit
version from Exchange 2003 and I have a 64-bit version form a SBS2008 box,
but get "DPM encountered a retryable VSS error. (ID: 30112)" and a
consistency check imediately fails.

HELP!

You can copy the eseutil.exe and ese.dll from your exchange server to the
DPM server.

The eseutil.exe and ese.dll versions that are installed on the most recent
edition of Exchange Server must be the same versions that are installed on
the DPM server. For example, if you are protecting Exchange Server 2003 SP2,
Exchange Server 2007, and Exchange Server 2007 SP1, you must copy
eseutil.exe and ese.dll from the server running Exchange Server 2007 SP1 to
the DPM server.

The following scenarios show the versions of eseutil.exe and ese.dll that
you must install on the DPM server:
32-bit operating system
If DPM is protecting only computers running Exchange Server 2003 on a 32-bit
operating system, copy eseutil.exe and ese.dll from the computer running
Exchange Server 2003.
If DPM is protecting computers running Exchange Server 2007, the 32-bit
versions of eseutil.exe and ese.dll are required from Exchange Server 2007.
You can obtain these versions from the Exchange Server 2007 Setup DVD.

64-bit operating system
If DPM is protecting only computers running Exchange Server 2003 on a 32-bit
operating system, copy eseutil.exe and ese.dll from the computer running
Exchange Server 2003.
If DPM is protecting Exchange Server 2007, copy eseutil.exe and ese.dll from
the computer running Exchange Server 2007.

Hi Santosh,

I thought that as the DPM server was running Windows Server 2008 64-bit, the
version of ESE.DLL and ESEUTIL.EXE needed to be the 64-bit versions from
Exchange 2007? I obviously can't install any 32-bit Exchange 2007 management
tools on the DPM Server, as it wont let me. I've read in numerous places
that even if you are only protecting exchange 2003, if the DPM server is on
Windows 2008, then you need to use Exchange 2007 versions of the files.

Can you verify this please?

Hi

We have been running DPM 2007 on Server 2008 x64 for over a year, protecting Exchange 2003 running on Server 2003.

This question bothered me for ages but the solution is to pop the 64 bit versions of eseutil.exe and ese.dll from the Exchange 2007 media onto the DPM server in the \DPM\bin directory. As DPM runs on a 64bibt server this has to be the case.

We just upgraded to DPM 2010 Eval (awaiting media availaibility of the RTM) in order to protect our new Exchange 2010 server. In this instance we are still protecting the Exchange 2003 server but have had to update both eseutil and ese.dll to the 64bit Exchange 2010 versions so that they run against both Exchange backups.

Hope this helps
Steve
