4.8 SP1 doesn´t work correctly witch shortcutted attachments

Hello to everyone !!

I have problem that seems to generate in older version 4.7, but I was able to create it again 4.8 SP1 (.564) version.

Everything runs smoothly with emailxtender. It read e-mails and archived them correctly. We can restore e-mail correctly, no problem. But when we have shortcutted e-mail with attachment, and we open e-mail we have some problem. We can see icon of attachment correctly (word, pdf, excel...) but doupleclicking this icon we got answer "This attachment is now a shortcut and requires that you open the message first before opening the attachment.".

So we have e-mail opened already. What can cause this problem? Ideas and facts are moore than welcome.

Hi there,

I assume you're running Exchange. What version?

- Are you shortcutting the mailbody or only the attachments?
- Can you open the item from the archive (archive search) correctly?
- This "error" sounds like you still look at the shortcut. Can you confirm the message class in Outllook (you need to add this in the view)? => This would lead to the shortcut retrieval process not working correctly.
- Do you have errors on the EX servers?


Sorry for all the questions, but I need some "food" for getting into the problem...
Regards, Jochen.

Sorry lack of information !!

- Yes, this is Windows exchange 2003 server

- Yes, item of the message opened correctly, just like it shoud. And even Icon of
attachment looks in message as it shoud.

- Yes, it sounds like looking shortcut (funny, isn´t it) but I´m not. The message
is open. I will confirm message class.

- No, not any errors, no lost+found folders, no errors in database.

And, if I restore all shortcutted messages back to e-mail server, they behave just like they never shortcutted. And when I shortcut them again, message item opens correctly, but attachements don´t.

I could go to grave without this problem ;)

Is this a new installation of EmailXtender?

If yes, have you gone through the process of changing the DCOM Config for ExExchangeMailbox, ExExchangeMgr, and exXtractService?

If this is an upgrade, were you able to resolve shortcuts prior to the upgrade?

You may also wish to check the logfiles located at: C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1

Greetings,

If it would be me I will start from the EX server first to see if shortcuts resolve from EX server itself. If they are then problem might lie somewhere else.

If shortcuts are failing on EX server itself, first thing to check is DCOM permissions on ExExchangeMgr component, second is to check Exchange permissions. Usually in case of exchange permission you might see 401 error in emailxtract but you already mentioned its not the case (but we never know)

Have you upgraded Shortcut Add-in on the client machine ?

Hi Mark,

DCOM permissions are discussed in the EX install guide Chapter 6, page 51

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Rajan

PS: Always start with EX server to make sure we can open shortcuts on EX server is we can then we can go to client machines.

Have you configured the mailbox connector properly? I once had this issue and got sorted out by putting in the right mailbox connector. Though that was on Exchange 2007.

What do yo mean with "the right mailbox echange connector"??

I use, as a mailbox exchange connector, the mailbox of the user that is used to run all the LEGATO Emailxtender Services.

This is not a catchall mailbox because I don't need journaling....

Many thanks.
Marco
