Permissions are part of the directory "dir.edb", but are not restored when you restore the DIR.EDB file. You will need to reset permissions using the Exchange admin program, or a command line utility (PFADMIN).
BLB's (as most everyone else on the list will confirm) are a waste of tape and time. Backup the stores and directory information and be done with it.

OK, I have Exch 5.5 SP4 running on Win2k Svr as a public folder server. This morning, 9 of the "root" public folders lost their user permissions, but still have the administator permissions. I need to get the permissions restored to what they were originally. We use ArcServ2000 and have a directory, public information store, and brick level backup. I have tried to restore one of the folders (brick level)but that did not restore the permissions. I tried to restore the directory, but that did not restore the permissions either. Where would the permissions get stored? I would have thought on a brick level backup, it would also get the permissions? Is this wrong? Any ideas on how to get the permissions restored? Do I need to restore the entire public store?
