Microsoft Exchange Server allows the database administrators to extract critical data from user mailboxes on the Exchange Server computer and merge the extracted data to same mailboxes on another Exchange Server computer through Exmerge.exe (Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Merge Program). This utility copies data from source server into PST (Personal Folder) files and then merges data in personal folders in mailboxes on destination server. But in some situations, after merging the database, you can not open the PST file. It results into inaccessible data and cause critical data loss situations. In such circumstances, it becomes essential to go for Exchange Repair to extract inaccessible data from Microsoft Exchange Server database.

In Microsoft Exchange Server, after you extract mailboxes from a database in the form of PST file and then merge them to another Exchange Server database, the database become inaccessible. You can not open the PST files on newer database. This problem could be either due to PST file permissions or because of the new PST format used by Outlook 2007 and 2007. In such cases, when you attempt to open the PST file, you come across the underwritten error message:

"Error configuring message service (MSPST MS) (MAPI_E_EXTENDED_ERROR) (CmapiSession::CreateEMSPSTProfile)."

In order to test this suspicion when you create a new PST file in earlier versions of Outlook and try to open it, you might get the below error message:

"Error opening message store (MSEMS). Verify that the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service is running and that you have the correct permissions to log on. (0x8004011d)."

This behavior of Microsoft Exchange Server renders all of your business critical data inaccessible and you come across data loss scenarios. At this point, it becomes essential to go for Exchange Server Repair to retrieve your valuable data.
