One part of the Hotfix states that you have to redeploy the remote agent to your servers. Don't forget to redeploy the remote agent and restart the Exchange servers in question. I have not done that yet, but I'm hoping it corrects the 32 Mailbox Restore Display issue. yea, that happened to me also.

Thanks for making us aware of the Exchange GRT bug; I had no idea. I'll have to go around all our clients and make sure that update it applied. Unbelievable. I do not have experience with EMC Networker or CommVault. If anyone does, please leave a comment. I would love to hear about it. Thanks.

One of the "known" problems with BackUp Exec 12.5 and the GRT for Exchange is the software only displays 32 mailboxes when attempting a restore. Imagine that! The hotfix was finally released today; which caused the server to bluescreen. Once an uninstall and a reinstall from the website, not Live Update was done, the system no longer blue screened BUT any backups done before the patch was applied still display only 32 mailboxes. This has caused our IT team to be 120 hours behind an SLA for a customer. Symantec support offers no help. We are now looking at EMC Networker and CommVault. Once Backup Exec is gone from our network, we will have eradi cated all Symantec products (ghost, AntiVirus and Backups). This company provides really crap solutions and really crap support.
