I know that to import the PST files, it uses the 'Alias' name. Verify that
your new AD Accounts Alias names match the Alias Names as they appeared on
the old network.
OR
Rename the PST files to match the Alias names in your current AD Structure.
This will most likely be the way that you need to go since both
organizations may have had identical alias names. By renaming the PST files
to match the New AD accounts, you will have unique alias names without
editing your AD Accounts....
Your event viewer should show some type of indication that the Cname or
Alias name could not be found during your Exmerge import.

The "Send As" and "Receive As" rights were set OK, I had already taken
care of that, for Domain Admins.
I guess my question is: If the export is done on one Exchange server with
one OU structure in the AD, and then the same PST file is copied to a
system with a very different AD and OU structure, does it matter to
Exmerge, and how to import the PST correctly?
best regards
Mike
