Hello Douglas,
Since you are changing the log on/exchange alias names when installing the
new server, what you will want to do is to simply rename the "alias.pst"
files to match their new alias on the 2000 server.
For example, if John Doe's old logon name was John, then his exmerged .pst
file would be john.pst. Simply renamed that .pst file to jdoe.pst. This
should allow exmerge to successfully send the email back into the new
mailboxes.
Also, please note that before exmerging data back into Exchange 2000, you
will want to implement the following KB article:

| I would use Exmerge.exe to export your current mailboxes to pst files.
Then
| when SBS 2000 and Exchange is installed and running, use Outlook to import
| your pst files into your user mailboxes. This is less hassle and you can
| see right away if the import works correctly for each mailbox.
