I am using Exchange 2007 SP1. I have used Exmerge with Exchange 2003. So I
am aware of providing proper permissions etc. I am required to archive
ex-employees mailboxes before removing them. I am trying to use Exmerge and
it's giving me an error dapi.dll not found. So I tried another server
Windows 2003 SP2 Exchange Management console installed on it but now get
error about Exchem.dll can not be located in dynamic link library.

I am local admin/domain admins to both of these machines and have
appropriate read rights to the account on Exchnage Server.
I have been running Exmerge from C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange
Server\bin folder where Exchange Management tools are installed.

Any suggestion?

Use Shell instead. Exmerge is not supported though it still works. Not
sure why exmerge is erroring out; were you able to sucessfully run it
before from the same server?

To export data from a .pst file, you must run the Export-Mailbox
cmdlet from a 32-bit computer that has the following installed:

The 32-bit version of the Exchange management tools
Outlook 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Outlook 2007

Export-Mailbox -Identity jo...@contoso.com -PSTFolderPath C:\PSTFiles
\john.pst

Grat and Thanks that's easier than I thought. I did not look in that
direction.

thanks James - It's a mystery why Exmerge does not work at all. But your
post about command prompt was helpful. Anyway it works from commandline.
Whatever works, works for me. I wont even try to solve a mystery why Exmerge
does not work even though I followed all guidelines and eventhough it works
for other people.
