Permissions changing on pickup directory
I have a couple of webpages using CDO to send mail. For them to work, I have to give IWAM_server write access to the pickup directory of my Exch2k-SP3 server. So I give IWAM those rights and the pages work fine. However, we try out the webpage again a few hours later, and we get an access denied error. So I look at the permissions on the pickup directory and see that IWAM has been removed. I assume Exchange has repermissioned pickup to be tighter. So I tried changing it again (and unchecking inherit permissions from parent..), and again it works for a while before breaking. Am I supposed to be doing this a different way? Thanks!

RE: Permissions changing on pickup directory
Well, I kinda hacked a solution into place... Just running a cacls against it every few hours with scheduled tasks... Not the nicest way to do it... -Original Message- From: Chris Levis Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 10:40 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Permissions changing on pickup directory I have a couple of webpages using CDO to send mail.

RE: Permissions changing on pickup directory
What if you turn on security event logging? Maybe that will log the change in permissions and tell you when and what user account did it?
