Hello johnrio1 

This means that inside NetWorker, that user do NOT have the "Operate NetWorker" privilege, and in the documentation it is explained.

So, in order to do that you would need to go to NMC (NetWorker Management Console), and add the user (the same user you have configured as logon in the Exchange server, for the Replication Manager Exchange Interface service) to the following NetWorker groups:

Database administrator

Application Administration

Backup Operators

Enough by adding *@hostname  of all Exchange nodes, including the DAG

That should be enough for you to perform the restore.

Thank you,

Carlos

Thanks Guys

Related is when you get permission errors like this while simply adding a client to networker server. You can get this error (privilege "Operate Networker" missing) from simply having connectivity issues to port 7937 for example. And you can also get errors like "No File or Directory" or something to that effect as well. Bottom line is the developers of this software need to do a MUCH better job of error handling. They're clearly swallowing real java exceptions and causing cascading error conditions that don't make sense to the end user. < > Never swallow java exceptions. Throw them up and terminate the **bleep** process if needed, but don't swallow them please -- for the user's sake!! Hire more skilled Java programmers if you need to. This is just nuts and makes learning and using Networker much more difficult.
