Need help: Mail Box migration to Inhouse Exchange Server

[Eshwer]

1) Does the exchange migration wizard help in
migrating all the mailboxes and public folders from a hosting company server to our inhouse exchange server

2) If the hosting company sends us a .PST files how
can we use that to migrate all the mailboxes into our exchange server.

1 - not that I'm aware of
2 - the PST will just contain all the mail. you'll still need to mailbox enable your user accounts and import the items after that.

I am trying to import the pst file using the exmerge.exe utility and extract in to my mail server. but it is not allowing me to do the same.

Can i get the reason plz

By default, E2K does not grant anybody the right to export or import with Exmerge.

The easiest way I found was to grant "Recieve As" and "Send As" to the Exchange Service account in the Mailbox Store (click on properties of : First Storage Group / Mailbox Store (SERVER)), then log into the Exchange Server with that account and then use EXMERGE.
