Thank you very much to whom trying to help. I have successfully created a SMS package to encrypt the exchange service password for running exmerge utility. As this package would be used by some authorised staff only, so I think I have not exposed too much risk here.

When ExMerge runs in batch mode, it reads the names of mailboxes to be exported from a text file, and I also uses an INI file to figured out which text file to use. So preconfigure the INI file. Use windows Task Scheduler and schedule the batch file to run. When you schedule it, you will be asked to supply username and password - stick the service account credentials in there. When someone needs to export mailboxes, they could modify the text file that has a list of mailboxes, then go to the Scheduled Tasks, right-click on the ExMerge job and run it. (or if they want to use a different text file altogether, they could even modify the INI file to point to the other text tile) -----Original Message----- From: by [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 11:52 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: exmerge Dear all, So far all the articles I have read about "exmerge" is, it requires "Exchange service account" logon to perform the task. I am trying to setup a standard procedure that desktop support staff can learn using "exmerge" for archiving mailbox data to PST before deleting the exchange mailbox accounts. As I am avoiding informing them the password of "exchange service account" if possible, can somebody advise how to handle the situation? Thank you. BYS --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
