Exmerge and Exchange 2003
I am attempting to export a mailbox from the exchange server but I believe I do not have permissions to do this. I am logged on as Administrator.
Can someone advise what I need to do

I tried these steps
Mount the mailbox store that contains the System Attendant mailbox
Note By default, the System Attendant mailbox is created in the first mailbox store in the first storage group on the first Exchange Server computer.
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
If Administrative Groups are not enabled, go to step 3. If Administrative Groups are enabled, expand the Administrative Groups container, and then expand the first Your_Administrative_Group container.
Expand the Servers container.
Expand the first Your_Server object.
Expand the First Storage Group object.
Right-click the Mailbox store object, and then click Mount Store.
Click OK.
Expand the Mailbox store object, and then click Mailboxes.
In the right pane, verify that the System Attendant mailbox exists. If you do not find the System Attendant mailbox, right-click the Mailboxes container, and then click Run Clean-up Agent. The System Attendant mailbox will appear and will be connected.

Create a security group for System Attendant mailbox access
To create a security group and to add the default Administrator account, follow these steps.
Note In the following steps, the Administrator is assumed to be the user who will run ExMerge. In practice, if it is a user other than the Administrator who is to run ExMerge, you must add that user’s account to the security group.
Start the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in.
Right-click the Users container, point to New, and then click Group.
In the Group name box, type Ex-Admin.
Click Global, click Security, and then click Next two times.
Click Finish.
Right-click the Ex-Admin group object, and then click Properties.
Click the Members tab.
Click Add, click Advanced, and then click Find Now.
In the Search Results list, click Administrator, and then click OK three times.
Quit the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in.
Back to the top
Grant rights to the security group
To grant the Send As right and the Receive As right to the security group on the System Attendant mailbox, follow these steps:
Start Exchange System Manager.
If Administrative Groups are not enabled, go to step 3. If Administrative Groups are enabled, expand the Administrative Groups container, and then expand your first Your_Administrative_Group container.
Expand the Servers container.
Expand the first Your_Server object.
Expand the First Storage Group object.
Right-click the Mailbox store object, and then click Properties.
Click the Security tab.
Click Add, click Advanced, and then click Find Now.
In the Search Results list, click Ex-Admin, and then click OK two times.
In the Permissions for Ex-Admin list box, click to select the Send As and Receive As check boxes under the Allow column. Additionally click to select all other permissions.
Click OK.
Close Exchange System Manager.
Run ExMerge.

Also, you have 2 users with the same name - that will confuse the server
ASKER
There is only one user with that name and the account is not disabled. Exmerge is being run as a two stage process.

I logged on as BESAdmin (created for the Blackberry Server) and I can export the data. But I am not sure which permissions are needed and where if I want the Administrator account to run Exmerge.

1. You cant use the built in administrator account to do this.
2. Instead you should create a special account just for Export/Imports, i.e. in the past we created an account called EXAdmin and assigned the appropriate rights/permissions pointed out by Robin above

If it is, then exmerge will fail - enable the account, and run exmerge again
are you doing it as a 2-stage process?
