This can be caused by insufficent permissions, configuration errors and/or pass-through authentication failures.
1. Ensure that the ArchiveManagerServiceUsers group has "Full Control" NTFS permissions on the following directories:
2. Edit the web.config files contained within the above two directories and ensure that the following line is present:
<authentication mode="Windows">
3. Make sure that authentication in Internet Information Services (IIS) is set to Integrated Windows Authentication.
4. Ensure that the Archive Manager website is set to use Port 80 (default).
5. If the issue persists, open the .amexp Search Exporter file with a text editor and edit it to utilise the "Admin" username, "DEFAULT" domain and "FORMS" authentication as follows:
<Port>80</Port>
<Username>Admin</Username>
<Domain>DEFAULT</Domain>
<AuthenticationMode>FORMS</AuthenticationMode>
</AfterMailSearchStub>
Save the .amexp file and run it. In the Archive Manager Search Exporter window, choose to 'Connect Using' the 'Archive Manager Authentication' method.
Enter the 'User Name:' of 'Admin' and enter the password for the 'Archive Manager Administrator' account.
The password for this account can be reset if required under Archive Manager Website | Administration | Logins.
