XADM: "CMapiSession::CreateEMSPSTProfile" Error Message When You Use Exmerge to Import Data to Exchange 2000 Server

This article was previously published under Q323671

SYMPTOMS

When you run the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Merge program (Exmerge.exe) to move mailbox data from Microsoft Exchange 5.5 Server to Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, you may receive the following errors in the Exmerge.log file when you try to import the data to Exchange 2000 Server:
[15:34:46] Entered Routine: (CMapiSession::CreateEMSPSTProfile)
[15:34:46] Error configuring message service (MSPST MS) (UNKNOWN ERROR)
(CMapiSession::CreateEMSPSTProfile)

CAUSE

This behavior may occur if the personal folder files (.pst) are marked as Read-only.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, remove the Read-only attribute from the .pst files, and then run Exmerge. To do so, follow these steps:
  1. Start Windows Explorer, and locate the .pst files.
  2. Right-click each .pst file that contains the data that you want to import, and then click Properties.
  3. Click the General tab.
  4. Click to clear the Read-only check box, and then click OK.

A similar error can be encountered when exporting mailboxes to a .PST file using ExMerge if a destination folder is not created prior to export. Original Error: Error configuring message service (MSPST MS) (MAPI_E_EXTENDED_ERROR) (CMapiSession::CreateEMSPSTProfile)

I am seeing the same error during an export. No ideas why, but it is causing me a lot of problems.

Also, you will get this error if the pst file has a password.

When trying to do an import of a pst file I was getting the message: 'Error configuring message service (MSPST MS) (UNKNOWN_ERROR) (CMapiSession::CreateEMSPSTProfile)'. I gave the user I was running exmerge under full control rights to the file share where the .pst files were located, and tada! the import works now.

Rachel's idea worked for me - Giving the user I was running the PST export with full control to the destination share got rid of the "Error configuring message service (MSPST MS) (UNKNOWN ERROR) (CMapiSession::CreateEMSPSTProfile)" error.
