Access to the machine doesn't matter. I was just thinking to FTP the files from a local test install machine up to the upgraded mail server. No requirement for physical access or switching things around on the network.

I did check permissions though and it is all set properly. The other machine is just not an option at this time. Good suggestion but not even a possibility at this time. I am doing remote administration at this time which means I don't have physical capabilities of switching things in the network. I have just never had an issue doing remote administration before with an install or upgrade. I think there is something more going on here to cause the catastrophic failure. I thought is may have been a corupted download but tried again and it is the same issue. I am attempting a defrag see what happens then. In the mean time keep the suggestions coming maybe we will hit on something. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darin Cox" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, April 10, 2004 9:17 AM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Catastrophic failure > By permissions, I meant the file permissions.
