If you would like some advice on how to setup the NTFS permissions on your Exchange server, download the "Securing Exchange 2000 Servers and AD DCs - pdf or doc" from: http://sewpsc.sewp.nasa.gov/docs.shtml My Exchange Server 2003 NTFS permissions are as follows: NTFS Permissions: C:\ Admin - Full, System - Full, Creater Owner - Subfolders & files only - Full Users - This folder, subfolder, and files - Transverse, List, Read, Read, Read Perms This folder and subfolders - create folders & append data Subfolders only - create files, write data Everyone - this folder only - Traverse, list, read, read, read perms D:\ Same as C:\ E:\ Admin - Full, System - Full, Authenticated Users - R &X , R, List Server Operators - All but, full F:\ Same as E:\ C:\ = OS D:\ = Program Files E:\ = Exchange DB F:\ = Exchange log files Cheers, ...D
