Environment



X64 2008 Standard/Enterprise Edition SP 1/2 Exchange 2007/2010 Visualized.


Cause



The remote agent debug out put from the remote server Exchange 2007/2010 do not list "bedsexese.dll" but shows "bedsmbox.dll". This shows the remote agent on the Exchange 2007/2010 is not installed properly & "bedsmbox.dll" is corrupt or missing.


Solution



Check the backup selections list to find is Exchange IS/DB are properly listed. If the Exchange IS/DB are not listed in Backup selections list in GUI but reflects fine in resource order & the remote agent debug out put shows as follows,   

[3528] Could not create a BETCPConnection object from address: SDC1-2K8-EXCH1 error=An error occurred during a socket connect operation: Error Code: 10061, System Error Message: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

 Solution:-
Uninstalling the remote agent from the Exchange 2007/2010 server & reinstalling again re-registers the "bedsexese.dll" again & should see the Exchange IS/DB in the Backup Selections list.
