You receive an "Unable to install mailbox agent" error message, and event 287 is logged

When you install Mailbox Manager on a server that has been restored or on a server that has been reinstalled, you may receive the following error message: Additionally, the following event is logged in the application log in Event Viewer:Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSExchangeDSImp
Event Category: None
Event ID: 287
Date: Date
Time: Tine
User: N/A
Computer: EX05
Description: Unable to create object MBClean99:Alpha because it already exists. The Mailbox Manager object appears in the Add-Ins container in the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program, but the Exchange Server Mailbox Manager service does not appear when you double-click Services in Control Panel.

Cause

This problem occurs because an Exchange computer that has been reinstalled uses a backup Dir.edb file to retain the previous configuration of the directory. The Mailbox Manager object is still present in this Dir.edb file. If you run the Setup program to remove Mailbox Manager, the Setup program does not remove these directory objects.

Resolution

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

1. Start the Administrator program.
2. Click the Add-Ins container.
3. Delete the following items:
   • Mailbox Manager Object
   • Extension for Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Manager for i386
   • Extension for Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Manager for Alpha
4. Run the Mailbox Manager Setup program again.

You receive an "mbclean99 could not be loaded" error message

When you start Mailbox Manager from the add-ins container of the Administrator program, you may receive the following error message:

Cause

This problem may occur if the Administrator program tries to load the Wldap32.dll file and the Mfc42.dll file from a shared folder on the network by using a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) format. If the share is inaccessible, this problem occurs.

Resolution

To resolve this problem, make sure that the shared folder path that contains the Wldap32.dll file and the Mfc42.dll file is available to the computer that you are running the Administrator program on. You may also want to view the application log in Event Viewer to see if it provides additional Universal Naming Convention (UNC) troubleshooting information.

Note You cannot resolve this problem by removing and then reinstalling Exchange.
