My mother said I wasn't useless, I could always server as a bad example. -----Original Message----- From: Snook, Kevin S (ITD) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 4:45 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: *poof* permissions gone! Permissions are not held in the Directory but are an ACL on the object itself. No restore of the Directory will recover them. PFADMIN is your right choice. -----Original Message----- From: John Matteson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 May 2002 20:23 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. You will need to reset permissions using the Exchange admin program, or a command line utility (PFADMIN). BLB's (as most everyone else on the list will confirm) are a waste of tape and time. Backup the stores and directory information and be done with it.

OK, I have Exch 5.5 SP4 running on Win2k Svr as a public folder server. This morning, 9 of the "root" public folders lost their user permissions, but still have the administator permissions. I need to get the permissions restored to what they were originally. We use ArcServ2000 and have a directory, public information store, and brick level backup. I have tried to restore one of the folders (brick level)but that did not restore the permissions. I tried to restore the directory, but that did not restore the permissions either. Where would the permissions get stored? I would have thought on a brick level backup, it would also get the permissions? Is this wrong? Any ideas on how to get the permissions restored? Do I need to restore the entire public store?
