Very simple danny, Here, I created a user, and added him to the Exchange Enterprise Servers group. Then, you open ADUC, put it into advanced mode and give the Exchange Enterprise servers group full mailbox access. Then, delegate exchange admin full control to the user, and you're up to go. After long, cold nights I managed to make it work. ;) Tiago -----Mensagem original----- De: Danny [mailto:nocmonkey@xxxxxxxxx] Enviada em: sexta-feira, 22 de outubro de 2004 15:35 Para: [ExchangeList] Assunto: [exchangelist] How have *you* setup Exmerge on Exchange 2003 http://www.MSExchange.org/ I have read three or four different documents now regarding the connection between Exmerge (the latest version), admin permissions, mailboxes, and Exchange Server 2003. *None* of them have worked for me, so obviously I am missing something because I receive the same error: "[13:49:01] Error opening message store (MSEMS). Verify that the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service is running and that you have the correct permissions to log on. (0x8004011d)" when attempting to access mailboxes through Exmerge -- in this case I am simply trying to archive a mailbox. Before installing Exmerge, I had the following account config: built-in Admin - don't use this account new Admin account - use this primarily for administrative tasks -Part of all the same groups that the built-in admin account is part of So, first I came across this doc: http://www.winnetmag.com/articles/index.cfm?articleid=42867 ...and created the group and specified all the appropriate permissions for all of the mailbox stores. Then I added the "new Admin account" noted above, to this new Exmerge security group. I then receive the error message noted above. So, the second article: http://www.kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=823143 ...so I created a new domain user account, and added it to the new Exmerge group. And ran Exmerge.exe AS this new user, but I still receive the same error message. But, first I had to modify the Domain Controller Security policy to allow this use to logon locally. I hate Friday's like this! :-) So, the question; how have YOU setup your Exchange server and account/permissions, so that you can successfully run Exmerge? Thank you, ...D ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: tiago@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
