Well, in the end I managed to get it working, although it may have been as a result of other things I did along the way rather than the last things listed here; Re: Exmerge - I was running from the server, and this wasn't working. Run from any Win2k client with Outlook, and it was fine. All mailboxes exported, although I didn't need this fix in the end When installing Exchange Server, at the point of specifying an existing server, I was using the IP add rather than the Netbios name. When I used the Netbios name, all was well, it didn't fall over at the end with a MAPI communication error Thanks for the help and advice -----Original Message----- From: Niki Blowfield Sent: 07 September 2001 08:45 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exch 5.5 installation problem Hi We have Trend Server Protect and Scanmail.
