ExMerge latest version and Exchange 2003 fully patched.
I am trying to run ExMerge on a Recovery Storage Group to extract PST's of the mailboxes. I have used this before and never had trouble so I think it is a configuration problem somewhere in AD. Here is the log file from ExMerge

Yes, installed but sorry don't know what to look for in there.
Here is a copy of my exmerge.ini file so you can see if I have configured properly, I think it is.

; b) From the list of mailboxes specified in a text file.
; c) From the list of database names specified in a text file.
;
; Using the different criteria specified, the program will extract a list of

; If a value is specified that is larger than the total number of mailboxes extracted, then the program
; will process all available mailboxes.
; This setting is applicable only when running the program in batch mode.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; MapFolderNameToLocalisedName
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; This setting controls whether or not the program will search this file
; for localised names of folders. If this setting is set to 1, the program
; will check the [Folder Name Mappings] section in this file, to see if there is an entry for
; each folder being copied.
;
; The format of the entries in the [Folder Name Mappings] section is
; <Folder In Source Store>=<Folder In Target Store>
;
; If an entry for the folder being processed in the source store is found in the [[Folder Name Mappings]
; section, then instead of copying data to the original folder, it will copy data to the target folder name
; specified in the [Folder Name Mappings] section entry.
; However, if both the original folder and the new Target folder name are not found, then the program will
; create a folder with the original folder name.
;
; For example, if the MapFolderNameToLocalisedName setting is set to 1, before copying data from a
; folder called 'Inbox', the program will check the [Folder Name Mappings] section for a Inbox= entry.
; Say it finds an entry Inbox=Posteingang.
; Now instead of copying data to a folder called 'Inbox', or creating a new folder called 'Inbox'
; it will copy data to the folder called 'Posteingang', if it exists. If a folder called 'Posteingang'
; does not exist as well, then a new folder called 'Inbox' will be created.
;
; This will allow the program to recognise localised versions of the common Exchange folders: Inbox,
; Outbox, Deleted Items etc..
; This setting is only useful when merging data extracted from a source modified with a different language
; client and then importing that data into a target store with a different language client..
; For example, you extract data from a mailbox, with an English client installed, into a .PST file. Then you
; import the data from this .PST file, into a mailbox, with a German client installed.

; RenameFoldersBasedOnFolderMappings
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; This setting controls whether the program should rename folders in the target store
; if a mapping entry is found in the [Folder Name Mappings] section.
;
; Note This setting is used only if the MapFolderNameToLocalisedName setting is 1.By default,
; special folder names on the target server are always renamed to match the names in the source server.
; In order to override this behavior you must set the RenameSpecialFolders setting, described later in
; this document, to 0. Special folders are the default folders such as Inbox, Outbox, and Sent Items.
;
; The format of the entries in the [Folder Name Mappings] section is
; <Folder In Source Store>=<Folder In Target Store>
;
; If the MapFolderNameToLocalisedName setting has a value of 1, then when processing a folder from the source store,
; if an entry for the folder is found in the [[Folder Name Mappings] section, then instead of copying data to
; the original folder, it will copy data to the target folder name specified in the [Folder Name Mappings] section entry.
;
; If the RenameFoldersBasedOnFolderMappings setting is 1, then the program will rename the folder in the target store
; to which we will be copying data, to the name of folder in source store from which data is being copied.
;
; For example, if the MapFolderNameToLocalisedName setting is set to 1, before copying data to a folder called 'Inbox',
; the program will check the [Folder Name Mappings] section for a Inbox= entry.
; Say it finds an entry Inbox=Posteingang. Now instead of copying data to a folder called 'Inbox', or creating a new
; folder called 'Inbox' it will copy data to the folder called Posteingang, if it exists.
; If the RenameFoldersBasedOnFolderMappings setting is 1, the program will rename the Posteingang folder to Inbox.
; If a folder called Posteingang does not exist, then a new folder called 'Inbox' will be created and the data will be copied
; to it.
;
; This setting is only useful when merging data extracted from a source modified with a different language
; client and then importing that data into a target store with a different language client and you wish to change the names of
; the default folders.
; For example, you extract data from a mailbox, with an English client installed, into a .PST file. Then you
; import the data from this .PST file, into a mailbox, with a German client installed. In other words before you import the data
; the target mailbox has the default folder names in German. If you are importing data from a PST file with English folder names
; and you want the target mailbox to have English folder names after the import, then you will need to have a
; <English Folder Name>=<German Folder Name> mapping in the [Folder Name Mappings section], and you will need to set the
; MapFolderNameToLocalisedName setting to 1 and the RenameFoldersBasedOnFolderMappings setting to 1.
; If you set the MapFolderNameToLocalisedName setting to 1 but the RenameFoldersBasedOnFolderMappings setting is set to 0,
; the program will copy data from the English Folder name in the PST to the corresponding German folder name in the mailbox
; but will not rename the German folder names. Hence, after the import, the target mailbox will still have German folder names,
; but data will be in the corresponding German folders.
; Default Value: 0
RenameFoldersBasedOnFolderMappings=0

RenameSpecialFolders
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; This setting overrides the default behavior that special folders are always renamed on the target server to match the names
; in the source server. This behavior was new in Exchange 2003. Special folders are the default folders such as Inbox, Outbox,
; and Sent Items. Set RenameSpecialFolders to 0 to override the default behavior.
; Default Value: 1

[Folder Name Mappings]
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Make sure that the value for MapFolderNameToLocalisedName is set to 1 or
; the settings in this section will be ignored.
; These entries are also used when the RenameFoldersBasedOnFolderMappings setting is 1.
;
; The format of the entries in this section is:
; <Folder In Source Store>=<Folder In Target Store>
;
; For example, to map folder names from English to German the following could
; be used:
; Inbox = Posteingang
; Delete Items = Geloschte Objekte
; Sent Items = Gesendete Objekte
; Outbox = Postausgang

No luck changing ini file. Replaced all the exmerge files with new ones from 'net. Here is the the screenshot. I tried with all different options in the boxes, with the same error
The code is with the LoggingLevel at default since I replaced the ini.

same thing, I have tried every different scenario. There was a lot of AD problems that I cleaned up today. Netdiag and Dcdiag were failing, and now they are passing everything.
ASKER
isn't there a tool on the CD to check the ad? can I get that tool witout the cd? I think it is part of setup.

OK, it is solved. After looking at the logs it seems that ExMerge does not follow its own settings because it looks to the local computer for Active Directory.
I decided not to promote the Exchange server to a DC because of this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822179/en-us
Instead I installed Exchange on the backup DC and ran ExMerge from there with no problems.
Thanks for the help,

Thanks for the help, pointed me in the right direction.
I ran into this same exact issue, but wanted to find a way to resolve it without changing roles on either the DC or the Exchange servers. On this Exchange server, I noticed that I *could* connect to the RootDSE partition with ADSIEdit (either locally or from my workstation - both worked), but I could NOT connect to the RootDSE partition on an Exchange server on which ExMerge worked. I changed the port to 636 in ExMerge and it worked.

I have created a new group and user. I gave the group all the necessary access. Is there a way to check the AD configuration for Exchange without the CD? I am a consultant working remotely and don't have the CD handy.
I think there may be an issue with the AD config, the server looks correct, the account is configured properly and exmerge is configured properly
Tried the runas without luck.
I tried to change the ini file force the servers and this is the log. Notice it is trying to connect to the exchange server instead of my domain controller, is that normal?
