Exchange Server

Michael Sven · Guest

Hi

I have an Exchange server and an application that relies on Exchange events being fired on a folder when items are added/deleted.

This has been working fine, but now the events do not appear to be firing. I have checked that permissions on the mailbox and the event handler in COM+ are fine, and there is still a SystemMaibox on the server that looks OK (although how do I tell?)

The only change of significance that I can think of is another Exchange server was installed in the same domain.

Any suggestions as to what might prevent event from firing on a mailbox folder in Exchange would be very gratefully received.

Regards

Mike

Is it a syncronous or asyncronous event? Have you checked that the
event is still registered? (using regevent.vbs /enum on the folder it
is installed on, or looking via Exchange Explorer)

You mentioned that "there is still a SystemMailbox on the server" - why
would you think there would not be? The systemmailbox is important for
event sinks if you are using a store-wide event. There is a known issue
on win2003 sp1 of store wide events not firing after a reboot, so it
could be this.

Another exchange server on the domain should not affect this, as
exchange events are installed on a store-by-store basis (I think)

Hi

Thanks for your comments. I was aware of the potential issues with SystemMailbox, which is why I
checked it.

Here is the knowledge base article for that:

There is no patch on this page - you have to contact Microsoft for it.

But even if this is the problem you are having, you should probably
unregister and reregister the event sink to check that this could be
the cause of the event not firing.
