Hi, I am trying to recover Information Store by using EXMERGE utility. After reproducing the server (that involves the SAM and registry), when I run EXMERGE, it says, can not access the information store. Obviously, the authentication problem is there. But after using the same SAM and logging on with the service aacount, this shouldn't have been the case. Could anyone help me out in this regard?
