Event :       29000
Source :      Enterprise Vault

Event ID 41043
 

Type :        Warning
Event :       41043
Source :      Enterprise Vault
User :        N/A

Description:
The storage server refused an archiving request due to one of the following reasons:

    - The storage queue has reached its maximum length.
    - The remaining disk space of the storage queue has breached its threshold.
    - The storage queue has been closed.
    - The storage server is too busy.

The aforementioned issue could be caused by the presence of an old 'EVStorageQueueBroker.exe.config' file not properly replaced during an Enterprise Vault upgrade; open the 'EVStorageQueueBroker.exe.config' with Notepad and check the 'codeBase version='; this must match with the EV Server version.

    
    
        
        
            
                
                 href="x64/PerformanceCountersRCW.dll"/>
            
        
    

In order to fix this issue it is possible to replace the existing 'EVStorageQueueBroker.exe.config' with one containing the proper codebase version, if no other Enterprise Vault Servers are present in the EV site please open new case via https://supportenterprisevault.cloud.com/support-home.

The EVStorageQueueBroker logs the error with Event ID 40966 'A program fault has raised an exception Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object'; in addition items are not post-processed from the StorageQueue
