Description

This error occurs when Exchange 2007 MAPI is installed, then Outlook is installed on the same machine, which leaves Exchange MAPI in an invalid state.

This is most likely due to an Outlook uninstall causing MAPI configuration to become corrupted.

Resolution

To resolve this error un-install Outlook (if currently installed) then upgrade Exchange MAPI from within BackupAssist

The steps to upgrade Exchange MAPI from within BackupAssist are as follows:

  1. Open BackupAssist
  2. Select the Jobs tab's Manage Menu, and select the Exchange mailbox backup job you need to change from the list provided.
  3. Click on Destination down the left hand side.
  4. Click on the Upgrade button under ANSI for Exchange option.
