Frequently Asked Questions - Exchange Mailbox Archiver Agent

How does Stub Recall Work and What do I do if the Recall Fails?

For an end-user to successfully trigger stub recalls all the components involved should be configured as follows:

For Exchange 2010

When a stub recall is triggered from the Outlook, by default the recall request is processed by the Bull Calypso Client Event Manager (EvMgrc) service on the CAS server. Subsequently the routing depends on location where the Exchange Mailbox Archiver agent is installed.

  1. If the Exchange Mailbox Archiver agent and the CAS server are installed on the same computer then the recall request is processed on the CAS server.
  2. If the Exchange Mailbox Archiver agent is installed on a proxy computer then the recall request is redirected to the EvMgrc service on the proxy computer. The recall is processed on the proxy computer.

Hence if you encounter recall failures:

  1. Verify if the CAS server is running.
  2. Verify if the Bull Calypso Client Event Manager (EvMgrc) service on the CAS server is running.
  3. If applicable, check if the Bull Calypso Client Event Manager (EvMgrc) service on the proxy computer is running.
  4. If applicable, check if the proxy has been enabled. See Configuration for details.

For Exchange 2007

Outlook Web Access (OWA) Recalls

When a recall request is triggered from OWA, an LDAP lookup using msExchangeHomeMDB reveals the name of the Mailbox Role /CAS server. The processing of this recall request depends on the following:

  1. If the Exchange Mailbox Archiver agent and the CAS server are installed on the same computer then the recall request is processed on the CAS server.
  2. If the Exchange Mailbox Archiver agent is installed on a proxy computer then the recall request is redirected to the EvMgrc service on the proxy computer. The recall is processed on the proxy computer.

Hence if you encounter recall failures:

  1. Verify if the CAS server is running.
  2. Verify if the Bull Calypso Client Event Manager (EvMgrc) service on the CAS server is running.
  3. If applicable, check if the Bull Calypso Client Event Manager (EvMgrc) service on the proxy computer is running.
