exmerge

let me try it out
thanks a lot and will come back to u

hello
same thing, I tried it out same error message is coming even if I extracted the folders c:\program files\exchsrv\bin folder.

also one more thing my exchange program is installed in c:\program files\  and my information store is G:\program files\exchsrvr\MDB DATA, if that is the problem please let me know the same.

If you have installed Exchange 2000 or 2003 the DLLs should be in that folder.  If it is 5.5 I think they are in the SYSTEM32 folder.  Maybe run a search for exchmem.dll.  Also, check if there is a BIN folder in G:\program files\exchsrvr.

You might want to run exmerge from G: if that is your network storage.  Often the local harddrive on the server does not have enough space to run exmerge.

You can also just copy the exchmem.dll into the folder where you extracted ExMerge to and run ExMerge from there. But the dll should definitely be found in the exchsrvr\bin folder of your Exchange installation folder.

Now it is working fine, but after exported and imported to another exchange my mailbox, I cannot see my emails in new exchange.

Everything was done successfully, please advise is there anything to be performed after importing to new exchange. I want to see my emails from server 1 to server 2

Hi
I have found exmerge.log file errors were encountered.
Please find below and give me advise accordingly
thanks

awaiting your reply
thanks'

I think you need to make sure you have "send as" and "receive as" rights in the mailbox stores concerned.  Even if you are a Full Exchange Admin, you do not have sufficient permissions by default.  See http://support.microsoft.com/?id=273642 for details.

Also check that the user is not hidden from the GAL -  I seem to remember this was an issue, but cannot remember why.

cheers

You may have guessed that I have been through this already...

Yes it started working, I have created a group called Exchange recovery administrator and in mailbox store properties/security tab added this group and give full control permissions, then it started working fine.

Please advise if I can run exmerge when SMTP service is enabled and server is live and users are on.

If possible let me know.
