Thanks for the links, guess I didn't read them well enough before. :) Well, this would help a lot, but I just gave my 2 week notice here, to go to another small company where I get to figure out how to setup an AD domain with Exchange 2000 and migrate from sendmail/popper. Yuck!!!! Anyway, thanks for the help and I suppose I will be nice and send the links to my, *cough* replacements. :)

Mark -----Original Message----- From: Mike Zatkalik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 10:29 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: big problem with my DR procedure Well, I did another restore the other night of Exchange 5.5 sp3 and realized that the primary NT account permissions DO NOT transfer over. I can access all mailboxes as administrator, but the user ownership is gone. Also, the permissions at all levels are gone and have to be recreated. I/We never checked to verify permissions before this, as we just tried to access a mailbox as administrator, so I am just wondering if anybody knows right off what the problem might be. My thoughts, which might be wrong, but nonetheless going to speak my mind, is that we can't redirect the directory when doing a restore and because of that, permissions aren't being copied. So, please let me know whether I am right in my thoughts, or completely off-track. So, whether I am wrong or not, how do I copy permissions and restore them to a test server?
