BackupExec 8.6 Unable to attach - Device cannot be found on Exchange 5.5 DS, IS, mailboxes after GroupShield 4.5 upgrade to Groupshield 5.0
Hi,
NT4 SP6A with NetShield, Exchange 5.5 SP4 with GroupShield 4.5. Doing remote
backup from another mashine (W2K server, SP2, using Veritas BackupExec 8.6).
Everything was "ok", I was able to do backup of MS Exchange store, although
McShield.exe would crash with the following in the NT Event viewer :
Event Type: Error
Event Source: McLogEvent
Event Category: None
Event ID: 5051
Date: 7/15/2002
Time: 1:01:05 AM
User: ICMP\McAfee
Computer: SARSERV
Description:
A thread in process D:\Program Files\Network Associates\NetShield 2000\Mcshield.exe
took longer than 35000 ms to complete a request.
The process will be terminated. Thread id : 605 (0x25d)
Thread address : 0x77f6797f
Thread message :
Build Jun 8 2000 11:56:49 / 8.52
Object being scanned = \Device\Floppy0 ( @ 25011 (10006,10010,25016,10006))
Just to be sure, scanning outgoing files is "unchecked" and A: is on the
list of excluded items, in/out.
Another way to crash McShield.exe is to go to Properties and to click on
"exclusions" tab. After about 7-10 seconds window titled "McShield.exe -
application error" appears with "exception 0xe0070001" and "location 0x77f1d479"
(if this makes any difference to anyone). After clicking "OK", NetShield
is disabled, and I can start it manualy again, no problems. After second
crash (yes, crash - enable - crash) exclusions tab finally appears, stating
FDD (A
is excluded, in/out.
Now, even with this problem, I was able to do backup of Exchange Directory
and Information store and backup individual mailboxes.
Yesterday, I had GroupShield upgraded from 4.5 to 5.0. All the settings were
preserved from previous version, and everything went ok, including test with
EICAR.COM. Like a dream. Not for long, because my nightly Veritas BackupExec
8.6 backup failed with "Unable to attach..." and "Device cannot be found"
for all three (DS, IS, and mailboxes).
NetShield was up and running, since there was apparently no decent attempt
to actualy backup any of the above.
All the settings are the same as with GroupShield 4.5, accounts, credentials,
everything.
Now, any idea whatsoever is welcomed, as I'm clueless here.
Thanks.

Haris,
Did Mcafee crash when BE was running the scanning?
Does the Virus Scan in BE run the same engine and definition as the Groupshield
/ Netshield?

Re: BackupExec 8.6 Unable to attach - Device cannot be found on Exchange 5.5 DS, IS, mailboxes after GroupShield 4.5 upgrade to Groupshield 5.0
Jenn,
Yes, McShield will crash when backup starts. If you examine the
log below, you'll see it crashed at 1:01:05 AM, and backup
starts at 1.00 AM, and it takes some time to load a tape from
HP autoloader, so it's safe to assume it crashes when data was
actually accessed.
All of the computers in question are running NetShield 4.5 SP1,
same engine and same dat version. Exchange server runs
GroupShield 5.0 now.
The other thing is, believe or not, I've solved this problem
few minutes ago. I was using regedt32 to edit LSA and restrict
anonimous support keys on both mail server and backup server,
and now it seems to work. I did backup DS fine, and McShield
didn't crash (wow ;-))
I'll have to see what I'll find on the screen when I get here
in the morning, but it looks promising now. Although I have no
idea what went wrong, or what I have changed that wasn't changed
before, now it works, so I guess I'll leave it at that.
Thanks,
Haris

That would be a strange solution but then it works! :-)
keep me updated!

Re: BackupExec 8.6 Unable to attach - Device cannot be found on Exchange 5.5 DS, IS, mailboxes after GroupShield 4.5 upgrade to Groupshield 5.0
Running NT4 SP6A with Backup Exec 7, NetShield, Exchange 5.5 SP4 with GroupShield
5.0.
After upgrading from Groupsheild 4.5 to 5.0 the Backup Exec server service
will no longer load.
Any ideas?
