Exchange Backup fails because of EWS issue


Forum|alt.badge.img+5

Hello everyone,

We have had a problem with Exchange Backup since today because of the EWS error (see image below). We have already re-entered the credentials for the service account, but unfortunately that didn't help. Does anyone have a useful tip on what to do in this case?

 

We have re-entered the credentials for the service-account at Commvault Exchange Client (see below)

hello ​@Eugen 

Did you check the connectivity between the Access nodes and EWS?

Also, verify if there have been any changes or modifications to the EWS, like the example below.

Hi ​@Eugen .this is known error with Exchange check readiness internal defect is present for engineering team to address this, but it won’t be having any impact on backup.

if there is backup issue then please verify the requirement
