  • Couldn't Connect to the source mailbox - New-MailboxRestoreRequest

    Having major issues with recovering a mailbox for a user, we have created a recovery mailbox db and it's mounted fine and not in a dirty shutdown state, but when I try any variations of  'New-MailboxRestoreRequest' I get the below message:
    New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceDatabase "RDB18" -SourceStoreMailbox "roger Hodges" -TargetMailbox otest -AllowLegacyDNMismatch
    Couldn't connect to the source mailbox.
        + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (0:Int32) [New-MailboxRestoreRequest], RemotePermanentException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 3E0814F2,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.NewMailboxRestoreRequest
    I've tried Restore-Mailbox also and get the below error:
    Restore-Mailbox -Identity "otest" -RecoveryDatabase "RDB18" -RecoveryMailbox "Roger Hodges" -TargetFolder Recovery

    Are you sure you want to perform this action?

    Hi,
    Please try the following command to check this issue:
    New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceDatabase "RDB18" -SourceStoreMailbox "roger Hodges" -TargetMailbox otest -
    TargetRootFolder “folder name” –AllowLegacyDNMismatch
    In addition, when running this cmdlet, the source mailbox in the recovery database needs to be identified using one of three possible values: the
    DisplayName,
    MailboxGUID, or
    LegacyExchangeDN values. Keep in mind that you cannot reference the source mailbox using the Exchange Alias when performing a restore. You can use
    Get-MailboxStatistics cmdlet to find this information.
    Best Regards.

  • Windows 8.1 - Windows Couldn't connect to the System Event Notification Service service

    I have an issue that has been bothering me for a while on new 8.1 computers. Standard users are not able to log into the computer on the first try consistently. They receive the error message: Group Policy client service failed the sign-in access is
    denied. They are stuck at the logon screen.
    If an administrator logs in (local or domain), they can log in but get a black desktop with two error messages. The first is Location is Not available - C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is unavailable. The second error message is a popup
    balloon. It states "Failed to Connect to a Windows service. Windows couldn't connect to the System Event Notification Service service."
    When a standard user attempts to log in, event viewer records three warnings. They are listed in order from oldest to newest
    The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> was unavailable to handle a critical notification event. -Logged 9:14:44
    The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient> failed a critical notification event. - Logged 9:14:44
    The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> was unavailable to handle a notification event. - Logged 9:14:49
    After a reboot, users still have the issue. I noticed that the user profile services and system event notification service are not running though their startup type is automatic. They start after a minute or two.

    Hi Joseph__Moody,
    Based on your description ,I assume it is a domain environment .First of all ,I would suggest you to try to update all the machine .
    "I have an issue that has been bothering me for a while on new 8.1 computers"
    Do you mean all the Windows 8.1 machine share the same symptom or just a specific one ?Did the machine work correctly before ?When did the issue start to occur ?Have you installed any third party software before ?Can we operate the machine when we login with
    an administrator account ?
    If the issue occurred with the specific machine :
    "The first is Location is Not available - C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is unavailable."
    Please try the following suggestions if we can operate the machine when we login with the administrator account :
    Open Windows Explorer and navigate to: C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile and verify if it has the Desktop folder there.If the folder doesn`t exit, we can copy from C:\users\Default\Desktop location(This folder is hidden by default).
    We also can try the following suggestions to have a troubleshoot :
    1.Run "sfc /scannow"or "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" to check the health of the system files.
    2.Perform a full scan with an antivirus software.
    3."They start after a minute or two."
    I suspect there is a third party service confilct here. Please perform a clean boot to verify whether there is a third party conflict here .
    How to perform a clean boot in Windows
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135
    If the issue occurred with multiple machines in the domian ,I would suggest you to check whether you have configured any logon scripts and logon group policy .We can remove the machine from the domain to have  a troubleshoot .
    If the issue occurred recently ,we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous normal point.
    Best regards

  • Boot camp with xp -- couldn't connect to the internet when installed

    I need to run xp for my job because the software they use only works with windows.  So I tried installing the copy of XY I have, XP Professional, last night.   I used the same XP disk for my first mac a few years ago, a 24" iMac with Leopard.  I am now trying this on my MB pro with snow leopard.  It has the same processor as my first mac (a duo-core, I bought  a refurbished mb pro).
    Everything went fine until I tried to access the Internet to get any updates and download the software needed.  I was not able to connect to the Internet at all.  I tried setting it up, etc, but nothing worked.  It could not connect, even though there seemed to be an icon that sad the signal was there (the two little computer monitors in the lower right of the taskbar)
    I called my ISP to see of there was anyone on that end who might know what was going on, but nothing.  He told me that my version of Internet Explorer was old and I neede the newest one (this copy of XP was from 2002 and the original version was IE 6), at which point I asked him how I was supposed to do that when I couldn't connect to the net.  Anyway, he gave me the number for some company called plumchoice, and they couldn't help me because I was using boot camp, and I was told that they don't support that platform.  I thought that was nonsense, given that I was running windows, not OSX and it worked before.
    When I did this a few years ago it worked fine -- I could get on the net with no problem,  and even then I think that there was a new version of IE that I had to upgrade to, yet I could access the Internet fine.  I thougt I needed to download some things from the internet to complete the installation (from the window that came up when you start boot camp assistant) but it couldn't find anything, so  I chose the second option that says I have the necessary disks that came with the computer.
    So does anyone know what may be going on?  I would also like to mention that I didn't yet go ahead and install the OS X drivers when I tried this, but I didn't think thay would make any difference -- I thought that they were just for the keyboard and volume controls, etc.  If I need to do that, then I feel like a real idiot and you all deserve to laugh at me.
    I'm not sure which disk that came with the machine is the one I'm supposed to use, so can anyone tell me that as well?  It's been a while since I did this (2008). I should be able to use this OS (and I only need it to download some software and work within it for this job).

    You need to install the drivers, especially the ones for your network hardware.

  • I downloaded ios7 after being asked to restore. But now my phone wont connect to the activation server and is asking to restore again but I cant because itunes does not show any of my phone information

    I downloaded ios7 after being asked to restore. But now my phone wont connect to the activation server and is asking to restore again but I cant because itunes does not show any of my phone information (it just shows a blank white screen with "iphone" in the centre".

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to activate after the update, and the server is getting overloaded. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

    Is this a company email account?  If so you may need to talk their technical support, as there may be additional layers of security which are preventing a connection.

  • I think I no why I couldn't connect to the store

    I have aol, so I have an AOL account to use. I was under my screen name when I COULDN'T connect, but when I was under the master screen name, I could. (My AOL account sign in name was the same as the master sign in name, so that might have done it.) So I probley THOUGHT I couldn't connect, but the hole time I bet I could. So any of you who can't get into the store, have AOl, and used your master screen name as you AOL sign in account name, try signing on to your MASTER screen name, then try getting into the itunes store.

  • I am trying to publish my ibook. When I click the publish icon i immediately get this message: 'iBooks Author couldn't connect to the iBooks store'. My internet connection is fine, and this book was uploading fine yesterday. I want to change metadata

    I am trying to publish my ibook. When I click the publish icon I immediately get this message: 'iBooks Author couldn't connect to the iBooks store. Check your internet connection, then try again.' My internet connection is fine, and this book was uploading fine yesterday. I want to change metadata.

    When you are having problems with a site - consider weather between you and it and amount of traffic (time of day).
    Bad weather can cause problems with a connection as it travels on the information highway - hazard a guess all traffic that went through Buffalo is being routed elsewhere.   
    Bad weather can slow down handshake etc to the point of requiring too many resends - so Ibook is timing you out.

  • Looking for a bluetooth headphone for my Macbook Air and Ipad Mini, I am not looking for a headphone that needs a transmitter to be connected to the source rather a headphone that can be connected directly via bluetooth to the source device

    I am desperately looking for a bluetooth headphone that would be compatible to my Macbook air and Ipad mini both. I am more of looking for a headphone that does not need a transmitter device to be connected to the source (in this case Macbook Air and Ipad Mini) and headphone acting as a receiver, rather need a headphone that would be connected directly via bluetooth to the source, it would be great if multiple apple devices be connected simultaneously. Please suggest some good headphones.

    Hey sorry for the late reply, I was busy to figure out alternatives as harman kardon was a difficult affair to find and acquire, but the good news is I managed to get hold of alternative.
    Sony I assume recently launched a Bluetooth headphone DR-BTN200 which is compatible to my MacBook Air , iPad mini and android phone galaxy s2 with ease, the sound quality is pretty good as compared to other brands of Bluetooth headphones I checked compatible or incompatible to apple devices alike, this is definitely what I was looking for, costed me 7990 INR, this is highly recommended for ppl who are confused, I carried my devices to the store and checked before I bought a pair and pretty much happy,
    The best part of this is its battery backup, I have used this hours for 3-5 days but this has not drain even then, but I do keep this charging once in 2-3 days just to keep this ready otherwise it does not even ask for it neither the quality of sound drops after 2-3 days of use.
    This is over the ear headphone which is very soft but it's get sweaty around the ear I guess that's bound to happen.
    Do get back to me for any other details, would be glad to share with all :)

  • Why do we need a connection to the Source DB for RMAN DUPLICATE ?

    Version Info: 11.2.0.3/RHEL 5.8
    We want to clone a Production DB to a test DB.
    Prod DB size: 100gb
    We are going to take an RMAN full backup (Hot Backup which includes Archivelogs ) and scp the backup pieces to the Test DB server.
    In the Test server , we will be running RMAN DUPLICATE command after connecting like below
    rman target sys/passwd@SID_OF_SOURCE_DB auxiliary /We have everything we need in test server to do the cloning ie. all the RMAN Backup pieces. Then why does RMAN connect to the source DB ?

    from [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10643/rcmsynta020.htm] here
    Backup-based duplication without a target connection
    RMAN creates duplicate files from pre-existing RMAN backups and copies. The DUPLICATE command must have been issued with the DATABASE clause. This form requires a connection to an auxiliary instance and a recovery catalog.
    This mode is useful when the target database is not available or a connection to it is not desirable (as mandated by security policy restrictions or a firewall).
    Backup-based duplication without connection to target and recovery catalog
    RMAN creates duplicate files from RMAN backups and copies that were placed in a designated BACKUP LOCATION.http://dbaregistry.blogspot.com/2011/04/rman-duplicate-without-connecting-to.html
