extract data from offline exchange server
I have just recently had our exchange server fall over, i have installed and configured a new server with exchange 2003 on it. i need to get the mailboxes off the old exchange server which is 2000 and import them onto the new exchange server. the fallen over exchange server is offline and exmerge will not run for me to extract the data from itany other solutions that i could use to get users mailboxes off this server so they do not lose any email. Thanks in advance

i can boot into windows but the system attendant and info store services wont start. we have taken that whole domain offline, the exchange 2003 server has the same name as the old server, and am going to set up the 2000 exchange on a seperate network with a gc and try to do it that way

mass2612 is correct that to use EXMERGE the Exchange services need to be running and the databases mounted.
Is the exchange 2000 server able to boot into windows and start the exchange services? Is it still a member of the domain? Does the new exchnage 2003 server have a new name? Do you have access to a GC server when trying to run exmerge on the Exchange 2000 server? What errors are you recieving?
