Isn't that permissions/account modification information going to be in the logs for one of your DC's?

I finally found out the culprit. Something very stupid to boot. Almost 200 out of 500 mailboxes had their primary NT account changed to another person's NT account. It appears to be totally random as well. The first person I had to troubleshoot on had the correct NT account as a primary as he was already logged in to Outlook when the script ran. So I didnt pick up on that immedaitely. Then when he logged off and could not get back in . . . we were clued in. I suspect a rouge WSH script as the developers have been working on one to auto create mailboxes via a web interface. So you know my next question . . . anyone think of a way to track this down? I see the 200 Informational messages from the DS in the event logs about account properties being changed, but not by who or what. Any other suggestions? Obviously someone is hot to know how this happened . . . Thanks! Chris PS I know about doing that work on a Dev Domain/Exchange server . . . I warned them about that but was vetoed! :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Hlabse" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 11:17 AM Subject: Re: Users Cannot Log Into Mailboxes > > There has to be something logging when attempting to login to the > mailbox.
