You might be able to use something like ADSI Edit or LDP to get rid of the bad entry. But that would be dangerous, so be warned.

Then that group was accidentally deleted from the active directory. Now the permissions remain stuck to these personal folders. The name of the group changed into something like "NT-User:S-1-... (lots of numbers)", and the worst result is: in all the affected folders, permissions can no longer be altered AT ALL. Any attempts to change folder permissions in Outlook result in the "The modified permissions cannot be saved. The client operation failed."-message to be displayed. The whole phenomenon can be easily reproduced and leads to the same result every time. The only way out of this seems to be the complete deletion of the users' mailboxes. Does anyone know of a better a solution? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
