Unable to run  exmerge successfully.

I have followed the kb:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;292509
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823143

I have exmerge security group, with exmerge admin user
control has been delgated
security rights to the mail store with send/receive permissions
I have tried AD\user\mailbox rights\self\associated external account
i have tried creating the PST in different locations


Here's the log file:

I changed the delegation from exchange view administrator to full administrator
the inherit permissions were not checked and no deny entries were listed.
i rebooted the server and ran exmerge with the same results.
Manually grant the account you are using the"send as" and "Receive as" permissions, if not already listed.

Thanks for the continuous support, but as originally stated:

I have exmerge security group, with exmerge admin user
control has been delgated

security rights to the mail store with send/receive permissions

I have tried AD\user\mailbox rights\self\associated external account
i have tried creating the PST in different locations


i have done that. Still very unsure of what is not set up right. Any other thoughts?
Hmm, typically thats all that needs to be done. Have you tried to extract any other mailboxes?
I'm having this same problem.  I have tried all of the step listed and also can not get it to work.

I am having the same issue.

Fake, do you have a KB article or anything to go along with your advice, before i go messing with the registry?

Thanks,
By default, domain admins have an explicit deny for send as and receive as permissions which are needed for running exmerge successfully. If this is the case, use an account which has necessary permissions to run exmerge or workaround it as per the article.

You are the man, fake!  I was beating my head into the wall trying to find where this was inherited.  Thanks!
