No!!! It will only delete the attribs for that one user. If you are not confident in doing this, I suggest do a search on Microsoft KB. Regards, Raj -----Original Message----- From: A. M.

I went to do as you suggested and the process gives a lot of warnings about potential loss of data, contact Microsoft PSS if you want to proceed, etc. Sounds drastic! Is there any further info on this process of "removing attributes"? Will removing one ueser's attributes cause loss of data for any other user(s)? the warnings seem to imply that this will indeed happen. best regards Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: A. M.
