Hi Del Thanks so much. I followed all your suggestions, and it is working. It has now been running for ages how ever doing a "Exchange integrity Check for component 'JNBXDB01'" Is this normal to take so long? Brand new Exchange server on 2008 R2 with only 20 odd users?

I recommend calling IBM support. They will direct you to perform the "DISKSHADOW Prereq Test". http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21403456&myns=swgtiv&mynp=OCSSTG2D&mync=R This will remove TSM from the equation and make sure valid snapshots can be created with the VSS subsystem and Exchange Server. In the VSS world, this should be done before running TSM VSS snapshots, to validate that the system is ready. Thanks, Del ---------------------------------------------------- "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@vm.marist.edu> wrote on 09/30/2010 10:14:50 AM: >> From: Adrian Compton <acomp...@aspenpharma.com> >> To: ADSM-L@vm.marist.edu >> Date: 09/30/2010 10:15 AM >> Subject: Re: TDP for Exchange 6.1.2 >> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@vm.marist.edu> >> >> Hi Del, >> >> Thanks for that.
