I just ran into this problem recently myself.
Remember, if you're using a 'Domain Admin' account you are by default DENIED ACCESS to do this. I had to choose (or create) an account and add it in two places:
1) Exchange server's Local Users and Groups 'Administrators'
2) Using a gold AD Users and Computers (like the one on the Exchange server):
- Choose View, Advanced Features.
- Right-click, Properties on the user I wanted to ExMerge
- Security tab, and add your non-admin user with Full mailbox access
This then allowed me to log in locally to the Exchange server and run Exmerge successfully for that user. Also beware: Verify the user's store is less than 2 GB. ExMerging more than 2 GB into a pst will destroy it, and if you've chosen the 'Archive' instead of 'Copy' option, start looking for a backup. If you must 'Archive' then use date ranges to limit the data pulled out during each ExMerge pass.

You mention that I can run this another host or exchange computer. I only have one exchange server on the network. Can it be a XP pro workstation?

Please assign your login full access to the mailbox you need.
Exmerge depends on rights to access the data for export.
You must not use a domain admin account as these (by default) have DENY access to mailboxes.

i login to the exchange server as besadmin, a blackberry admin account, now when it pulls the list of all the mailboxes, i get the following error:
an error encountered with one or more users when retrieving list of mailboxes homed in selected databases on server...
who do i get around this?

Can you continue past this error?
You will often get this on systems where mailboxes have been deleted, but remain in the database for a while (deleted mailbox retention).
This is normal - just advising that not all mailboxes can be matched to current AD accounts.
Are you recovering from a Recovery Storage Group?
Is it a special recovery server?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Thanks for the points
(this should prove the basic permissions are ok)
2. Have you attempted to run Exmerge from another host or Exchange server.
