Hello Mario, It lloks there is a bug in TDP for Mail 6.1.1. We have faced exactly the same problem immediately after upgrading to 6.1.1 (command line is working fine, but GUI gives this strange message). After short investigation I have recommnded our Exhange Admin to report this problem to IBM and they provided some workaround immediately. I know exactly that he is able to use backup/recovery from GUI with this workaround, but PMR is still opened. I am very sorry, I couldn't provide more detailed information, because we have weekends and holiday till Monday hire. If you need to use GUI urgently just contact IBM and they will help you. Regards, Grigori

All rights reserved. Querying Exchange Server to gather storage group information, please wait... The operation could not be performed because object 'EXCLUSTER' could not be found on domain controller 'domain.controller.local'. The object 'EXCLUSTER' is the actual Cluster Nodename, not the machine hostname, as recommended by TDP for Exchange Installation and Configuration Guide. This is a 2 node MSCS simple configuration. I´ve checked the AD and the object exists there. Any ideas? Mario Please consider the environment before printing this Email.
