Exchange 2003 – Using ExMerge.exe to export mailboxes fails with error (0x8004011d)

exchange-2003

I'm using ExMerge.exe to export some old mailboxes to PST format for archiving. I've followed instructions at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124178%28EXCHG.65%29.aspx
and
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996410%28EXCHG.65%29.aspx

To make sure I have permissions appropriately setup.

However I get the message 

[13:50:02] Error opening message store (MSEMS). Verify that the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service is running and that you have the correct permissions to log on. (0x8004011d)

any ideas?

Permissions can be trickier than they might appear -- by default, Exchange full administrators still can't access every mailbox in a domain.

See this page for some suggestions on how to ensure you're using an account that can access every mailbox.
