The Service File Viewer cannot connect to the target server which is an Exchange 2007 CCR (Cluste (4227496)

The Service File Viewer (SFV) cannot connect to the target server which is a Exchange 2007 (E2K7) Cluster Continuous Replication (CCR) homed on a Windows 2008 (W2K8) server. The following pop-up message (example) is received.

QMM for Exchange Service File Viewer

Error: 53 'The network path was not found.'

Path: \\SRVEX07\QMMEX$SRVEX07$\Mail Transmission Agent

Starting with Quest Migration Manager (QMM) for Exchange 8.3 and W2K8 E2K7 CCR cluster there is no longer Qmmex$Ex_virtual_server$ share on any of the cluster nodes as it is not required by the new cluster handling logic.  This causes the SFV to fail when trying to connect as the SFV has not been modified to check for the new share name.

The following is a work around for the SFV so it can connect to the target server.  Each node of the cluster is to be shared with the share name format \\serverNode\Qmmex$serverNode$ while still keeping \\serverNode\qmmexNode$.

The procedure for this is as follows:

1. On each node in the cluster go to to the QMM Agents folder, by default located at C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Aelita Exchange Migration Wizard via Windows Explorer.
2. Right click on the folder and select Properties.
3. Select the Sharing tab and then select the Advanced Sharing button.
4. Select the Add button.
5. Fill in the shared name in the format of qmmex$serverNode$ where serverNode is the corresponding name of the Exchange servers CCR cluster node.
6. Select the Permissions button and add the service account and give it Full Control.
7. Select the OK buttons all the way out.

Now when using the SFV, just attach to the corresponding node (not the virtual cluster name) and you will be able to connect and see the PRV/PUB files.
