script to Backup NTFS Permissions
I am looking for a script to backup all NTFS permissions for a drive. I would like to script this so we can back them up and then be able to restore the permissions on another server in the same domain. I am doing this for DR so I can not just copy the files over using xcopy or robocopy. I know the backup software should restore the permissions but we have ran into some problems were some restores do not bring the NTFS permissions back. I am hoping to use xcalcs to do this but want to hear some other options or examples people have. Thanks Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

Re: Scanner in RDP session
I have not seen that on any newer models of the HP scanners. I can only say that I saw that software on the SCSI attached HP's from many years back. I would think doing the remote share with an USB attached scanner would be very difficult to do. If I was looking for this type of functionality I would look at some of the SCSI or higher end USB models. All that said the last time I even saw that software offered with a scanner was when there were still a lot of Windows 98 systems in the market/hands of clients. I don't remember seeing it since that time period but then I have not been looking either.

RE: Is there a way to remotely gather the version and service pack of a Microsoft Exchange Server?
Yes, there is an A/D provider in V2, and it’s pretty nice. There is also a (free) A/D provider from Quest, and free A/D cmdlets available as part of PSCX (PowerShell Community Extensions). It’s covered, but I can’t assume that everyone has those installed. J Regards, Michael B.

I can do it in PS, but because there is no A/D provider in PS 1.0, I have to use System.DirectoryServices() in order to do the query. That makes it several lines longer, of slightly confusing code (or one really long line of REALLY confusing code). Regards, Michael B.

You made me think on a Saturday! Shame on you! No, that won’t help you. MAPI/CDO have nothing to do with WMI. Really, the easiest way to do this is to use dsquery or adfind.

question about moving exchange 03 store to iSCSI
I've read a few articles that say all I need to do is enable persistence for the connections and move the data files via system manager. But I'm expecting that when Exchange restarts, if the iscsi initiator hasn't started yet Exchange won't be able to connect to the database. So what services do I need to set dependencies on to avoid this problem, or am I not correct in my assumption? Using Windows server 2003 R2 SP2 with Exchange 03 SP2 Microsoft iSCSI Initiator 2.06 Thanks in advance!
