ExMerge cannot find my server
I've used ExMerge a few times to export some mailboxes in the past without any issues. I went to use it today and got the following error.
The specified server "my server name" is inaccessible. It is not an Exchange Server or a domain controller is unavailable or you do not have the necessary rights to access this server of the LDAP port specified is incorrect"
I know the server is accessible and running because I have 80 users on there right now. The domain controllers are controlled by a larger group on campus and are definitely up and running. I've tried specifying my DC and the LDAP port but it returns the same error.
I'm running exmerge within the \exchsrvr\bin directory and my AD account is definitely a member of a security group that has Exchange Admin permission on my OU.
Here is the exmerge.log error

I followed that document and it did yield some clues.
My personal AD account is listed under the security tab and does have Receive As and Send As permissions. However, the admin security group that I am a member of, had both Allow and Deny checked for both items. Both were greyed out as well.
I tried adding another account I use and setting the Receive As and Send As permissions to allow. I then made it a member of the local admin group for this exchange box. I thought this would fix it, but when I run Exmerge as this second user, I get the same error. Now i'm really stumped.

Is the user also listed as an exchange administrator? If so then their permissions on the organization container is set to deny Receive-As.

When I delegate control to my OU, the group that is listed as Exchange Full Admininstrator does not include this second user account that I manually added the "Send As" "Receive As" permissions.
Is there somewhere else I should be looking?

Can you post a log from the run as the second user.
The account used for exmerge also needs service account permission and I am not sure but you may want to remove them from the administrator group.
