Hey all, I recently took over the Exchange Admin role here at my job and
this is the situation. There has not been a successful backup of Exchange
2003 using Veritas Backupexec 9 for a few months now. Here is what my job
logs say:

What is happening is that these were all disabled accounts and I assume
the previous administrator deleted the mailboxes but the user accounts
were still open in Active Directory for some reason. It shows up under a
mailbox in the Veritas exchange utility but in reality these accounts do
not exist since they were deleted. Where can i manually find the database
or directories and eliminate this problem so my backups will perform?

Thanks in advance!!
