-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Darrkon Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 7:08 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange Disaster Recovery Issues We will definantly stop OST users from getting on the exchange server until a PST dump has been performed from their OST file. Just further to this issue. The damn thing started working and saved us rebuilding the whole exchange server using PST export/import at 7pm on a Tuesday night. The problem now is that each mailbox CAN be accessed but ONLY by the user who initially owned the mailbox. (ie JBloggs is the only user account that can access the Joe Bloggs mailbox) No matter what permissions we set on any mailbox that still remains, only the initial owner of the mailbox can use it, this includes administrator being unable to view the mailboxes. Any ideas what might have caused this to occur? Thanks for the advice :) Luke --- Tim Ault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Perhaps.
