Actually, any permissions related to a public folder or a mailbox folder are stored with the folder object in the respective store (priv or pub). Hence a full restore of the Exchange 5.5 directory will not restore folder permissions.
The same applies to BLB's. A BLB's doesn't do anything else than connection as a MAPI *client* hence it reads only data and things like views, rules, permissions, auto archive settings, folder agents/events etc. are not backed up and cannot be restored. All that also applies to Exchange 2000 BTW. <Siegfried /> > -----Original Message----- > From: John Matteson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 9:23 PM > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: RE: *poof* permissions gone! > > Permissions are part of the directory "dir.edb", but are not restored when > you restore the DIR.EDB file.
