Hi “



I
have about 10 users that left the company. Their AD accounts are disabled. I
would like to use Exmerge to archive their email to PST and then delete them. However,
Exmerge kicks back an error: Error opening message store (MSEMS). These
accounts have the same permissions as the users for whom Exmerge worked fine. I
tried enabling one of the accounts, logged in as that user, and then tried to
configure Outlook to use the account. This last step (Outlook) got rejected
saying the user did not have permission to access the mailbox.



So,
how can I completely own this account and give my admin account full control?



Thanks.

Hi,

            What I do when I exmerge is that I set the
Administrative account "full mailbox access". The account must be
enabled and the "hide from exchange address book" unchecked.



Note that it takes some time to replicate the changes. Log
in as administrative account to exmerge.



Hope this helps

You've hit the masterAccountSID problem that crops up when
a mailbox-enabled account gets disabled. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;278966

looks like you've hit the problem of disabling accounts. basically, because you've disable the account(s) you want to exmerge no-one can access them. I think you'll be fine if you enable them and try again.

One other thing to make sure of though: confirm they're not hidden from the GAL as exmerge can't find the mailbox if it is.

Tim.
