SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to use the AT command for command-line directory import or export with Admin.exe, the process may not complete.

When the AT command fails to complete the import of a batch file, the following event is generated in the Event Viewer Application log:

  Event ID 181 Description: Could not bind to the Microsoft Exchange Server. You do not have the permissions required to complete the operation.



CAUSE
The Schedule service startup value is set to use a System account.



WORKAROUND
To fully utilize the AT command, modify the Schedule service Startup property in the Control Panel Services icon to use "This Account." Use an account that has at least the Permissions Admin role on the Exchange site you are attempting to manipulate.

To ensure that you will have full functionality using command-line import and export with the AT command, specify the Exchange Service Account as the Log On As account for the Schedule service.



MORE INFORMATION
Directory import/export can be run from the command-line using Admin.exe. Therefore, it can be run as part of a batch process using the AT command. For more information on running import/export from the command line, please refer to the Microsoft Exchange Administrator's Guide, pages 479-487.
