** Thanks for your help - that was the problem.  >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/04/06 11:07 AM >>> Ah... Check this out... I found this just the other day... In the admin tool help.. section: "Using the Remedy Administrator command line interface" Toward the bottom you will find the following "aside" note... " Note:  You cannot export server objects that include a percent sign (%) in their name. " Now if that was "by design".... then why can you create or set an ARS object name to include a stupid "%" in the first place? But I start to rant.... Anyway... I am 99% (get the pun?)  sure that you know your problem. :) Yes you can toggle the Server setting and not lose a thing as far as the ARS objects and their relationships to the SC system. I would simply set it to "optional" then do a rename on those objects then set the setting back to "required". -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
