Thanks in advance

Do you already have BE2010 R3 installed ?
If not, please update to R3 first, and make sure to push the remote agent to the Exchange server again.

Also make sure the exact version of the Exchange 2010 Management Tools are installed on the Backup Exec Media server.

If this response answers your concern, please mark it as a "solution"

Hi guys

 

Thanks for the replies

 

I do not have R3 installed only R2, when I run LiveUpdate it gives me error

 

Backup Exec failed to register with LiveUpdate. Ensure that the latest version of LiveUpdate is installed, and then try again.

 

I have already tried to reinstall the LiveUpdate through the Backup Exec CD but it still does not work

 

Does someone have a link to download the R3 Update?

 

Thanks

You can get it on the link below:

 

http://trialware.norton.com/files/fc/Backup_Exec_2010_13.0.5204_MultiPlatforms_Multilingual_DVD.iso

Once downloaded, stop the BE services, get copies of the Data/Catalogs folders, and then proceed with the upgrade. Once done, run LiveUpdate to install BE 2010 R3 SP2 and then run it again to install any outstanding patches before push-installing to any remote servers you might have!

THanks!
