why do you want to Exmerge-In the PSTs?
You can give these files to corressponding users to be added into their user
profiles.
I think when you do an exmerge from exch 5.5 server the org/site names are
hard coded in the edb files and you'll have compulsions of using same old
names. Plus, you should be having all user mailboxes with same name.

Well, if you feel it's good for you, you can go this way.

Anil
