Cannot exmerge a .pst from domain A into domain B. Error configuring message service (MSPST MS) (MAPI_E_EXTENDED_ERROR) (CMapiSession::CreateEMSPSTProfile)
I have created a .pst in a Vmware domain (domain A) through the normal way in outlook (i.e to create the .pst I did NOT use Exmerge).
I then copied the .pst onto a folder on our work Exhange server (domain B). There is a user with the same name created on domain B, the user is called manager1 and the .pst is called manager1.pst, it was also originally created with this name.
However when I try and import the .pst using exmerge into the manager1 mailbox I get the following error: Error configuring message service (MSPST MS) (MAPI_E_EXTENDED_ERROR) (CMapiSession::CreateEMSPS TProfile)
I can confirm:
* I have used exmerge successfully on domain B using the same logon account.
* I have been able to, by using exmerge, to download mailboxes into .pst's and then rename and import them into other users mailboxes on domain B.
* I can link this .pst into my own outlook profile so it cannot be corrupt.
So I think my question's are:
1) Can you import a .pst created in one domain into a different domain by using exmerge?
2) Can you import a .pst created in outlook into another mailbox by using exmerge?
I am running Exchange 2003 Ent.

Ok fine, I agree that it is not a .pst permission that is the problem here.
I did some more testing at home on the w/end. The reason why I did not use exmerge originally (in dom A) to create the pst is that i did not have the necessary permissions, there was some obscure group that had me as "deny" send and recieve as for that mailbox store. I have since rectified that and can now use exmerge to download a users (Manager1) mailbox to a .pst in dom A.
So now the facts are:
* In domain A I have used exmerge in Exchange 2003 to download a mailbox to a .pst.
* Copied it onto a memory stick and then copied it onto a completely different domain (domain B) in a different forest.
* When I try and run exmerge (in dom B) to import it into a mailbox called Manager1 (exactly what the user was called in dom A). This is what I get

* I can confirm that in that particular mailbox store in domain B I have got the necessary permissions on it and have used exmerge successfully a number of times using the same mailbox store. I have created a number of test users and mailboxes in domain B and used exmerge to export to .pst and then to impoprt back again. But all within domain B and not going outside it. The problem is this exmerge created .pst that comes from another domain that i cannot import despite seeming to have all the necessary permissions.
Our company is merging with another company and yours truly has been tasked with moving the mailboxes. I have read that it is possible to import from one domain to another, but I cannot seem to duplicate it, and my boss is starting to look at me funny.
I am convinced that it is not a permissions issue. It has got something

Yes, I can still open it in the sense that I can still manually link it as a mail personal folder in outlook in another mail profile. It opens fine and all the old mails are there.
But I am not trying to import it into outlook, I am wanting to import into exchange via exmerge.

You said, you have already done the permission check and able to do PST import to this mailbox store. So we can void the permission part (Your account should have send as and receive as rights on the mailbox store)
Is the PST read only by any chance?
Is there any storage limits set on user mailbox?

Lets back track a bit because you are confusing me.
I have not said that I was able to import it into a mailbox store. That is exactly what I cannot do and am trying to do via exmerge.
I said that I was able to import the .pst in question into another outlook mail profile just to confirm it was not corrupt.
But to answer your question:
* Is the PST read only by any chance?
No, it is definitly not read only.
* Is there any storage limits set on user mailbox?
No storage limits set on that store, there are currently other mailboxes in it that are much bigger.

Do one thing.. Create a new test admin account with specified permissions and retry the import.
Delegate the account Exchange View Only Administrator rights.
Assign Full permission including send as and receive as on mailbox store where user is located.

the permissions I mentioned were related to send as and receive as permissions in the new domain, you obviously have the export ok, now just ensure your the exchange administrator..

I have deleted the .pst called Manager1.pst (that was the one that was created in domain A) that I was trying import.
In domain B I have used used exmerge to download to Manager1's mailbox to a .pst (remember in domain B the user manager1 has got an active user accout as well as working mailbox).
I then used exmerge to import the .pst (that i had just created) back into manager1's mail box.
I used the same folders in which I experienced the original problem so i can confirm there is no permission problems there.
I then deleted the .pst that I had created in this test and copied the one that I had created on domain A (that is the one that I want to do the test on, to see if you can import a .pst from another domain). I copied it into the same folder that I had previously used successfully, and tried to import using exmerge. But I got the same error message when it failed.
Look...i really feel that this is not a permissions problem. This mailbox I am trying to work with is in the same mailbox store that i have used exmerge on succussfully before. I have got full access to the .pst file.
The problem is with that specific .pst file. The only difference I can think of is that it was created from a mailbox that was hosted on Exch 2003 STD, I am trying to import it into Exch 2003 ENT.
