Hello all I am running exchange 5.5 on Win 2k server I have restored an exchange server in a test environment and all services are up and running. I can access the mailboxes through Outlook. My issue is when I run the Exmerge utility, it completes with errors. The log indicates the error is 'Error Creating Message Service (MSPST MS)' I am running the utility from the exchsrvr/bin directory as suggested by microsoft. The Exmerge version I am using is 1.0.0.5. I have read q174197 that mentions this error. But the solution in this article is not the issue. Help... Chris
