exchange 2007 imapi and loadgen issues!!

[ivegota16v]

ok, to set the scene

i have a fresh install of server 2008 on 2 boxes, one is the domain controller, dns, etc etc the other is the exchange server 2007

when i try to run the loadgen on the server 2007 box it can create the mailboxes in the AD (so that part is all working!) but it for some reason, when you then run initialize it fails, it threw up an imapi error below.. ( this was for a 1 mailbox load)

i am running this is the a domain administrator, and i have also added the domain administrator to the org admin exchange role. so i think all the permissions are correct

where oh where can i set the imapi part! its driving me up the wall! ( i have set that on the mailbox account bit if thats what ur thinking !)

Have you done some basic connectivity testing from one server to another? Try telnetting from CMD from one to another on the IMAP port (143) and SMTP (25), if you've got SSL enabled you'll need to use the secure ports 465 & 993 respectively.

Would be my starting point, before delving deeper in Exchange.

Linky - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb508866(EXCHG.80).aspx

The hex error code simply means "You don't have permission", is there a user with smae/higher privileges (enterprise admin) that can test it?

 

[ivegota16v]

thats the strange thing, the administrator account that im using is an enterprise admin!

as its a test setup i can add change as i like at the minute

tested the telnet as well earlier and all seemed well, its really strange this
