mapi32.dll is an invalid Extended MAPI Library and Mail is not installed

Filed under: Exchange Server,Microsoft — Rick @ 11:00 pm

I had a customer that uses Word 2007. They were having a problem when they clicked Send and “Send as PDF” and was getting this error “mapi32.dll is an invalid Extended MAPI Library” and “Mail is not installed”. I could not figure it out.

Finally I got to another computer in the office and compared the mapi32.dll files. They both had Office 2007. They were quite different  in size so I renamed the mapi32.dll on the machine throwing the error and copied over the mapi32.dll from the second computer and after that it worked fine.

Before I copied the mapi32.dll I also installed “2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS” but I do not think I really needed to do that.

Exchange 2007 Export-Mailbox error -2147221233

Filed under: Exchange Server — Rick @ 8:29 pm

After installing Exchange 2007 SP1 Management Tools on Windows XP SP3 x86 and Outlook 2007 with SP2 already on, the export-mailbox cmdlet was returning this error:

Export-Mailbox : Error was found for User Name (email@address.com) because: Error occurred in the step: Approving object. An unknown error has occurred., error code: -2147221233
At line:1 char:15 + Export-Mailbox <<<< -Identity User_Alias -PSTFolderPath C:\temp

I was ready to give up and noticed a blog post. The solution seemed too simple to work but it did.

All I had to do was run FixMapi.exe from the command prompt, wow that was easy. I ran the command again and to my surprise it worked.

Thank You Roman Rozinov!!
