I am trying to use exmerge to copy mailbox data from our current server/domain to a new server domain. The old ran exchange 5.5 sp4 on nt sp6a(nt network) and the new runs exchange 5.5 sp4 on w2k sp3 (w2k network). I have successfully performed step one and created all the pst files. I have exported the current exchange directory, and successfully imported it into the new exchange server (some name changes). I have been able to send/receive email from the new server. But when I run exmergestep 2 I am not getting very far. I get the following error: "error getting list of private information store databases on server "newserver"." Is there something I am missing? Do I need to have the .pst files in a certain directory? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I checked the error log for exmerge and the error that shows up there is:
ncorrect registry value data type for 'Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Setup\ExchangeServerAdmin'.
[17:14:05] Error parsing DN '' (CADRoutines::GetExchange5xServerNameInfo)
[17:14:05] 'EXCHANGE-CHS' is running Exchange Server 5.x

I have had similar problems - you need to ensure that the account that you are logged on with on the EXmerge server has Full System Account Access Rights on both servers (and in both domains) - for example in the E2K (Or W2K domain) you need to makesure that the logged on account has full domain, enterprise and Exchange admin rights and that it has full access to all of the mailboxes on the E2K computer (this can be done via the system manager at the top of the organisation with the Security tab enabled in the root (this is a reg hack that can be found on the MS web site) and in the 5.5 orgaisation you need to make sure that the logged on account has System Attendant Admin on the Information Store.
Hope this helps.

I used the exchange account that was used for installation to run this. Turns out I only had read permission on the .pst files which prevented it from running.
