Use ESEUTIL.EXE for Exchange 2003 32-bit on DPM 2010

If you are working with Exchange you probably run across a program called ESEUTIL. You can perform many great things with this program. One thing is checking you exchange databases or storage groups for data integrity. This can also be performed by DPM. The benefit of this is that you don’t have to run ESEUTIL on the Exchange Server-side.

But if you’re running a 32-bits version of Exchange 2003 that is protected with DPM 2010 and you want to use ESEUTIL on the DPM server you will run into some trouble. Since the DPM2010 version is a 64-bit server technology you can’t place 32-bit binaries on a DPM 2010 server.

DPM 2010 is a 64-bit server technology that can protect 32-bit server technologies.

But of course there is a solution.

If you download the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 management tools at this URL http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=112325 you will be able to use that ESEUTIL version.
