How to install ExMerge utility on your system?


To install ExMerge utility on your system, you must assure your system have MS Exchange Server installed along with the admin tools of Exchange server.

1. First download the ExMerge.exe from the Internet.
2. On the download page, click on the Download button to start downloading the exe. Once the exe is downloaded successfully, install it by running it as administrator and then configure it. Once it is configured on your system, log in to your Exchange Server account with Exchange Administrator rights.

Once the ExMerge utility is installed and configured, you are ready to run it. Start ExMerge, log on to your Exchange server and follow the steps shown below:

1. In the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Merge Wizard, select the procedure you would like to perform.
2. Now select the step you would like to perform.
3. In the Data Selection Criteria dialog box, click on Import Procedure tab.

5. Now it is the time for Mailbox Selection. All the mailboxes which are available on the selected server, will be listed here.

7. The Process Status will be shown in this window.
   

Once the operation is completed successfully, click on Finish button to finish the process.

If you are using MS Exchange Server 2007, you cannot run ExMerge utility directly on the Exchange Server machine which can easily be done in the earlier versions. Besides this, it may take enough time to be completed and you would require performing many steps.

If you are unable to perform such operation and face some difficulty, I would genuinely recommend you to download the Free trial version of this application. User can perform all operation in Free version rather than to save data. Good thing is that you can see your recovered data in Free version, If you are completely sure your mailbox is recover then go for a full version license.
