Hello there,

we are going to use exmerge utility to export mailboxes on Exchange 2003 SP2
to pst files. We have done some tests. it seems the program picks
legacyExchangeDN of the mailbox instead of "mailnickname" as extracted pst
file names. There are lots of mailboxes that were migrated from notes a few
years ago with randomly generated legacyExchangeDN. That really makes us hard
to tell which pst belongs to who. Is there anyway to force Exmerge to use
"mailnichname" as pst filename?

Thanks

Sorry, but no.

One thing you can do is run the CSVDE command on any Domain Controller to
export both the mailNickname and LegacyExchangeDN attributes of each user
then use this output to create a simple batch file to rename the files.

csvde -f Output.txt -s DC_SERVER_NAME -d "DC=domain,DC=com" -p SubTree -r
"(&(mailNickname=*))" -l "DN,mailNickname,legacyExchangeDN"

Hello JC,

Thanks for your info. How can I export the list in OU level? Say, OU=test,
sub OU=mailusers.

thanks again.
