ATTENTION: ADSMConnect Agent for Microsoft Exchange Server customers:

After applying the IC20843 FIXTEST...

For those customers experiencing APAR IC20843
(i.e. those with periods, commas, or at-signs ("@")
in there Exchange Enterprise, Site, or Server names):

  NOTE: For customers who have already backed up their
        Exchange databases with the GA version of the
        Exchange Agent and have periods (".") within
        their Enterprise, Site, or Server names...

        In order for you to restore or delete backups
        that were created PRIOR to the installation of
        this fixtest, you MUST rename the filespaces by
        replacing the periods with underscores ("_").
        ONLY REPLACE THE PERIODS THAT WERE PART OF THE
        OF THE ENTERPRISE, SITE, OR SERVER NAMES AND NOT
        THE PERIODS USED AS SEPARATORS. For example:

        Enterprise Name:  COMPANY,INC.
        Site Name:        SITE14
        Server Name:      SERVER.A

        Old IS filespace would be:

          "COMPANY,INC..SITE14.SERVER.A.IS"

        The command would be (this is one command):

        RENAME FILESPACE "COMPANY,INC..SITE14.SERVER.A.IS"
                         "COMPANY,INC_.SITE14.SERVER_A.IS"

        You must do this BEFORE running another backup or
        the RENAME FILESPACE command will fail since the
        new filespace will already exist.

Let me know if you have any problems.
Thanks.

========================================================================================
Original Append:

ATTENTION: ADSMConnect Agent for Microsoft Exchange Server customers:

There is now a FIXTEST version of the ADSMConnect Agent for
Microsoft Exchange Server available on the INDEX.STORSYS.IBM.COM
FTP server.  Here is how to get it:

       Where:  FTP Server, index.storsys.ibm.com
   Directory:  /adsm/temp
   Filenames:  IC20843A.EXE         - self-extracting install file
               IC20843A.readme.ftp  - readme file

This fixtest version contains two changes. They are:

   IC20843   - Problem when trying to back up and restore Exchange Servers
               that have "." (period), "," (comma), and/or "@" (at sign)
               within the Enterprise (Organization), Site, and/or
               Server name.  All embedded periods will now be
               translated to "_" (underscores). Commas and at-signs
               will now be handled correctly.

   Misc.     - You no longer have to be running as the Exchange Site Service
               Account in order to perform backup or restores.
               You MUST be running as a member of the Administrator
               group for the local server machine or you must be running
               under a userid with Read/Write access to the local registry.

Please let me know if you have any problems getting the fixtest.
Thanks.
