      Cheers Andrew,

That's what I told her to do.  She's only got 16 machines so is now updated
them manually.

Barry.

Hi,

Exmerge is a no no on Exchange 2007 anyway, the only way forward is to use
import-mailbox and export-mailbox.

Thanks Andrew will forward this.

Think her main prob is exmerge wont' work under a 64bit plat.

Hi,

Use the Powershell commands import-mailbox and export-mailbox to replicate
the functionality of Exmerge.  You can only run these commands on a 32-bit
machine with Outlook (at least 2003) installed, and the Exchange 07
management tools installed.  I recently wrote tools to convert around 200
users from Scalix to Exchange, and it involved this process, so any more
information required please let me know.

OTOH, if the Exchange 2003 server is still in the same org he can just move
the mailboxes.

Thanks.
Andrew.

Folks,

This is on behalf of a good friend, who's been thrown in at the deep end.

I've no current experience in Exchange, other than high-level sys admin
account management.

Any suggestions?

Hi B, 

So basically i have like 16 mailboxes that have been exported from
exchange2003 using exmerge. i currently have them all stored on a hard drive
as .pst files but i need them imported into exchange 2007. Problem is i dont
think i can use the powershell cos i am using the 64bit OS - exmerge dosent
want to run at all on exchange 2007.

There are also quite alot of custom folders etc within the .pst's as well.
