Actually, you can run these again, but if you're running Exchange 2003 it
won't reset the permissions. That is a one time deal in 2003 vs. 2000 where
that was an acceptable operation to reset groups etc (domainprep).
Forestprep is more for extending the schema than it is about permissions,
and since the schema is already extended, there's nothing really significant
for forestprep to do for you. This might be of interest to you:

What I'm not getting is what exactly the problem is that you're running
into.  Can you give us the symptoms vs. the details you found out while
troubleshooting it?  

If I had to guess, you're having some trouble backing up the server, but I'm
not sure this is the case and I think digging in that deep on the server
permissions could be a devastating issue if you get something wrong or don't
realize how permissions should be set/changed in production machines.

Local permissions are one thing, while the domain/forest permissions are
another.  They need to both be there to make it work together though :)

Hello
Thank you for reply. But do you think it is safe to while there is already
an exchange running? How about forest prerp? Do I have to do it try to
install exchange again on top of old one and do setup.exe/domainprep? 
Thanks for help
