John,
You need to write a simple vbscript to do this. OR, if you are not
comfortable with VB you can do a little less than what you need. You can
create a archive.pst and rename it to archivetodaysdate.pst. Because
batch file does not allow date manipulation.
A simple command to do this would be 'ren archive.pst archive%date%.pst'
in your batch file. But for this to work you need change the default
date format in the computer in which the batch file is running so that
the date separator is other than "/". You can use "-" as the date
separator, and also change the simple date format to something like
yyyy-mm-dd. So you renamed file will look like archive2003-09-19.pst for
example.

Stumped I am young Jedi :-)
The only way I can think of doing this would be to have a script that
writes the date into the ini file for you, the script could then execute
Exmerge in batch mode and then rename the file.
I am not a script expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I am
sure someone here will be able to script it for you.
Sorry I could not be more help, and I am still trying to get a gig in
Southern CA :-)

You know, if Mark is stumped on this one, is there hope?

Is it possible to use variables in exmerge batch mode?
Example. I want to be able to create a batch file that will run exmerge
at 12:05 AM daily to extract the previous days messages from the archive
mail box. The batch file would then rename the resulting archive.pst to
archive_MMDDYY.pst.
I know I can specify the date range in the appropriate ini file, but how
do you configure it for a variable like yesterday's date?
