Just use the RootSec template, and it will re-apply them right from the get-go... But if you really want to set it yourself, here is what that template does to file permissions: On %SYSTEMDRIVE%: Local Administrators: FC - This Folder, subfolders, and files SYSTEM: FC - This Folder, subfolders, and files Local Users: read & execute - This Folder, subfolders, and files Local Users: Create Folders/Append Data - This folder and Subfolders Local Users: Create Files/Write Data - Subfolders Only Everyone: Read and Execute - This Folder Only This is the default for a clean install. The "Everyone - Full Control" is usually as a result of upgrading from Fat to NTFS, or from NT4 to Win2K.

I did it the same with ALL my servers, should I back all servers to their original settings? Mauricio Fernández S.

Some of the built in functions rely on "everyone" having those permissions. This is almost undoubtably your problem. -- Chris Berry chris_berry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Systems Administrator JM Associates & Coast Business Service "This message written on our state-of-the-art beowulf cluster of nitrogen cooled, overclocked C64's" ******************************************************** This Weeks Sponsor StressedPuppy.com Games Feeling stressed out?
