I would apperciate to get any help or comment on this. I had permisiions issues with AD and veritas remote agent for exchange. I think I have done lots of work on this and no go. I did install a test windows server. Did install exchange with service pack1 and did print all users' permissions and I did a mix and match to figure out what is messed also making conflicts with veritas and denied permission. I have found crazy things such as owner was a member of enterprise administrators!!! Doing the work, I have found that on test machine, there is a group called server operators and has some permission on the exchange data folder. But on actual server that group is missing and I have done all crazy things to add that group to it and it can't find the damn object, even by typing it fully or manually browsing to built-in objects and look for it. There are some screen shots to see if you can give me hand on this Your time is appreciated http://faran.us/1.jpg http://faran.us/2.jpg http://faran.us/3.jpg Also I have to mention that exchaneg 2003, server 2003 standard, server is installed on c: and data are on raid which is d:
