Can I resubmit this please ? Thanks Simon -----Original Message----- From: Simon Bound Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 12:49 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] System mailbox account[Scanned] http://www.MSExchange.org/ I have an W2003k + E2003k setup and was called out when a Veritas backup failed unable to backup System mailbox account - did not exist. In Exchange Manger the System Mailbox was there but "red". In an attempt to reconnect it I ran cleanup agent and it advised me that the box would be deleted in 29 days. I tried a reconnectbut was unable to locate the object (NT Authority) wo assign it to. The panic has now started ! How can I "get back" the System mailbox. I tried a restore from tape but a restore told me I didn't have the rights to do this. If I leave it until the 29 days will E2003K recreate the mailbox for System mailbox and all will then be ok ? There does not seem to be any problems with the system as it is at present. The backup last night did the necessary cleanup/defrag of the stores ok. ANY help would be appreciated.
